17 weeks - suddenly feel unpregnant

I should clarify, I am clearly pregnant. My waist and hips keep expanding and occasionally, I still get heartburn but I don't feel as pregnant as I did a week ago, when all I could do was sleep, constantly had pregnancy headaches and thought I would die of backaches. The exhaustion is not nearly what it was. I used to be asleep between 7-8 each night. Now I can last until 9 or 10pm. I am eating but I don't feel ravenously hungry. No more nausea (although to be fair, most of that dissipated around week 13), heartburn is minimal, and I actually feel like getting up and doing stuff. Is this the magical burst of energy I have heard about or should I be concerned about the decrease in symptoms? Everything was just ducky at my 16 week appointment so I have no reason to feel otherwise but...you know how it is. We worry. I just turned 17 weeks on Monday. Thoughts?

  • Definatly the magical burst of energy you heard about, enjoy it because it ends as quick as it starts!
  • Omg I want this! I'm 16w2d maybe next week, I am crossing my fingers! :D
  • No worries I get anxiety pangs just like this all the time (have had hardly any symptoms at all, so don't feel pregnant, don't look pregnant and haven't felt any movement yet) but I'm 17 weeks tomorrow and saw baby happily dancing around in my belly this morning. All you can do is think positive, and trust the odds, which are hands down in your favour! X
  • I usually don't feel pregnant most days except for this belly and these love handles. Enjoy it while it last bc when third trimester comes around we will be miserBle and large
  • I also feel different from week to week. I wouldn't worry too much about it I agree with the PPs post ENJOY!

  • I'm not feeling as pregnant today! I always get anxious the closer I get to my Dr. appointments (Which is Friday). I'm 17 weeks, and I haven't felt the baby yet (well I'm not sure if I have). Bah pregnancy can be frustrating!!
  • I am 18 weeks today and have even feeling like that for about the past week. Definitely don't feel as pregnant as I have been except for the fact I'm getting bigger lol
  • I'm 18 weeks and feel less pregnant every other day. I wake up with no belly at all sometimes after having a good one. I just tell myself as long as I don't see blood or feel painful cramps the baby didn't disappear. ;) right?!
  • Yesterday I didn't feel much today I seem to have some typical round ligament pain! But I think my belly is a bit smaller! I've said it before and I will say it again, pregnancy is weird! Also as PP^ stated I'm trying to live by the philosophy that no news is good news!

    I'm 17 weeks tomorrow and apart from my nipples and hips killing me at times I feel flippin great!! So much so that I've told my oh that "if" we decide to have another baby then he is to remind me of this time when I feel 'normal'!!! Hmmm reading the above re nips & hips maybe tho I have just become accustomed to feeling rubbish... But I'll take it...xx
