Don't feel pregnant!

Hi ladies,

Has anyone experienced not feeling pregnant at all, apart from sore boobs....

I'm 14 + 3 with twins and the last couple of weeks I just don't feel pregnant! It's starting to worry me. Anyone else had this?

I just thought with two you would at-least feel something?

Thank you

Im 8 weeks and keep worrying “im not feeling it enough”, but having done a lot of research I actually think its fine, like you say I still have slight nausea, mild fatigue and mild breast tenderness, i think we expect it to build but actually i think hormones level out in 2nd trimester, how your feeling isnt so new so somehow doesn’t feel as much. I think we should count ourselves lucky! 🥳Interesting your having twins- congratulations! Im a little convinced i might be- just feels like my stomach shape has changed dramatically and when i think about bump i just think there are two of them.. might just be a bit mad🙈! Did you have a sense at all?

@Tosie your right we probably should count ourselfs lucky 🍀 I did call the midwife & I did say this probably sounds really silly but...... she explained to me after 12 weeks everything does settle down as long as you have no pain or bleeding she's sure everything is just fine.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Do you have twins in your family? I had strong suspicions from the start really. I have a little girl & I experienced a lot of nausea and occasionally sickness till about 8 weeks and was so tired! Like so tired! But apart from that I've not had much else. I did start to show as early as 6 weeks and I'm a size 10 so was really noticeable for me anyway. Then by 11 weeks I had a full blown bump! I was also googling twin pregnancy all the time 😂 don't know why! I must have known.... xxx

@Tosie I meant to say with my little girl I didn't have many symptoms at all so it felt really different this time round xxx

Twins on my mothers side and my partners dad is a twin (I know that doesn’t matter so much!) Same , been googling it loads and jeep imagining two little blueberries in there! 😂 we shall see in a few weeks!!! Keep going super mum!!

Oh. I wouldn’t worry about it. Give it another 20 weeks and you’ll definitely feel pregnant. 😆

Enjoy feeling good while you can.

@Tosie awww wow so there is a possibility! Are they non identical on your mums side?? I'm a twin & my mums a twin & I have twin nephews! Haha! Awww that's what I did, they say sometimes you just know. Please let me know when you've had your scan 😍 good luck! Xx

@Crustaceans haha I'm sure I will too 😂 thank you! It's hard not to worry I guess I was comparing it to my first trimester which was pretty grim haha! X

From 13 weeks I felt normal and still do now coming up 20 weeks! I've just had my scan and couldn't believe the baby was wiggling everywhere as I still don't feel pregnant! It's normal Grin

Tosie · 10/06/2020 15:42

I definitely will let you know! Be funny if bump does is double trouble! My grandma sisters are twins, non identical- not as strong as your family for the twin gene (wow!)

I'm 14 weeks too and had the same thing until literally about a week or so ago when I ballooned - I now just look like I let myself eat too many pies during lockdown to the outside world but can definitely feel a bump and it's starting to feel more real. I'm normally quite petite with a flat stomach so it's all very strange. Bump definitely bigger at night.
