I wouldn't even know I was pregnant

[Birdie]

That's awesome! I will go a couple hours and forget I'm (newly) pregnant, and then I'll feel like I'm going to puke and be reminded. I'm only like 4 weeks along though, so I guess it's to be expected.

I feel so normal. If I never took a pregnancy test or didn't think of my period being MIA, I'd never know I was pregnant.

It's weird. Anyone else feel the same way?

I'm trying to tell myself that I should consider myself lucky (except for messed up face and clothes feeling a bit tight), but I'm kind of anxious to make sure everything is going okay. 15 week appointment is next Monday.

 I feel/felt the same way...aside from raging bloat in the afternoons/evening I felt pretty much normal.  It's definitely easy to get anxious when you're pg in general, especially when you don't "feel" pregnant...but all I can say is to try to enjoy feeling normal while you can.  Before you're so big that to get up from a lying down position you have to wiggle your arms and legs like a bug stuck on its back for a sec to gain momentum  

Once I started feeling what I thought miiight have been movement (around 18 weeks) and straight up kicks (around 22 weeks), I managed to worry a little less but its hard because there is always SOMETHING to worry about.  All I could do was/is remind myself to enjoy that moment and remember that everything is FINE until the doctor says otherwise.

Yes.

That ends when you start to enter the John Hurt as Kane phase of pregnancy. Then things gets kinda weird.

[bazinga]

I remember feeling like that too. I would anxiously await doctor appointments (still do) so they could confirm that something was actually in there. Now that I have a visible bump it seems more real.

I was just going to post something like this because I feel like that too but I'm only 5 weeks pregnant. Have you heard the heartbeat yet? No morning sickness?

[soozy87]

I feel the same way most of the time. Just enjoying it before 3rd trimester!

[Jalapeñomel]

After I got out of the first trimester, I felt that way. Now I am starting to get weird twinges and my belly is getting hard, so I have a constant reminder again, LOL.

[Velar Fricative]

I felt that way. My bloat was insane during first tri but it's not like I've never felt bloated before. Likewise, the few days I felt nauseous, I wouldn't have otherwise known it was due to pregnancy since I've felt nauseous many times before if not for peeing on a stick and going to the doctor.

I honestly didn't "feel" pregnant until a couple of weeks ago. I talked to my doctor about it because I felt like a freak of nature. He said many, if not most of his patients have experiences similar to mine, but women are more likely to talk about their pregnancies if they're feeling bad symptoms, or a lot of symptoms. So just keep that in mind.

I also never felt totally pregnant... sometimes I can't even believe I'm pregnant now, despite feeling them move around and my growing mid-section.

It's strange to get comments from people now. People ask when I'm due or the guy at the falafel place gave me extra "for the baby". All that being said I still get really tired and nap for 2-3 hours a few times a week.

[Cheesecake]

I remember those days well :-) Only thing that told me was that I got a slight little bit of nausea if I didn't eat enough.
Now there isn't a moment in the day that I don't realize it...

[cincodemayo]

I felt that way until probably 29 weeks when my belly started making it hard to breathe. I didn't show until like 24-25 weeks, I never got sick, never bloated, never even felt more tired, etc. I kept saying I wish I had some symptoms. Don't worry, they will come!

[snickers]

Other than the back pain (which I had a little of before I was pregnant) I also wouldn't really know.
I am really tired, but I don't think that's because I am pregnant as much as it is from me not sleeping because of my back.
I have never even been nauseous one time, I had heart burn once (which I might have hot anyways even if I was not pregnant), I get headaches (but I get them on the regular anyways). So, in reality, I pretty much feel the same lol.
I know I ma pregnant because of the kicking though, which is a nice reminder

[trafficgirl]

I can see where not feeling pregnant would make you anxious. I had symptoms right away, but it sounds like it's pretty common not to. And you're out of the first tri, so hopefully that's a comfort!

Hang tight until your next appointment - it'll be here before you know it!

[rex]

I have had those moments during this pregnancy. They freaked me out a little but I think it's normal for symptoms to come and go. Enjoy the moments that you feel good

This was me, too. It wasn't until 28 or 29 weeks when I had a hard time tying my running shoes at the gym that I really felt pregnant.

[magpie]

I felt pretty normal most of the time too. I had a few moments of nausea, but they were few and far between. Mostly, I felt extra tired during the first tri though. I still feel pretty normal now, although I'm getting bigger and I definitely notice my stomach (usually with surprise whenever I look down!) all the time...plus the kicking!

[ErinExpat]

I get seats on the train now so I'm happy that I've rounded out enough to look pregnant and not just fat, lol.

Sometimes I forget, too, until she steps on my bladder or squirms around. Super weird.
