Finding it hard to believe baby is in there

Bit crazy perhaps, but I'm finding it really hard to be confident the baby is still in there. I'm 7 weeks pregnant and did a test a few weeks ago. This is my second pregnancy. Does anyone else have this?

This is my second pregnancy and I have had this both times and both times the mw assured me it is very very common to feel like this. I only felt it was a bit more real when I had morning sickness but even my twelve week scan didn't convince me.

Both times I have really believed it when I have begun to feel movement but I imagine people feel it at different stages. Dont worry it will feel very real before you know it!

Thanks YouMay. I do have a bit of morning sickness at the moment (which I never had with my first - wondering if that means it's a different gender). I nearly bought another test today to check but thought no, don't be silly. I guess I'm frightened of going to scan and finding nothing.

I'm 16 weeks and have gone beyond feeling very hungry a bit sick to not feeling anything but can't yet feel kicking. The only indication that I'm pregnant is not being able to do trousers up and that feels like it could just be down to being very hungry a few weeks ago. This is DC2 and it was the same when I had DD. It's a bit weird and a little worrying, but I think normal too.

I'm 10 weeks, and I can't remember how I felt around this time last time. I remember finding 14-16 weeks very hard though, as it was too early to feel movement and I got very anxious about knowing if everything was ok.
I had a mmc prior to this current pregnancy so of course I'm even more anxious this time!
I just feel ill tbh - nausea and heartburn, and bloating. I'm setting myself little milestones - just under 2 weeks until 12 week scan, then 2 weeks until we go on holiday, then 2 weeks until my birthday, and so on. By my birthday I would hope I feel some kicking!

I am still feeling like that, even having been for the 20 week scan yesterday and being kicked to bits from the inside!
I don't seem to get any symptoms, so was exactly the same with DD1 and did pregnancy tests before the 12 week scans both times! Blush

I'm 23 weeks with number 3 and still struggling to get my head around the idea there's a small person living inside me!! It's so natural but THE most bizarre thing ever!

I'm 36 weeks with DC2 and I still can't believe there is a baby in there!

I was holding a friends newborn the other day and I just couldn't get my head around the fact I'm going to have one very soon! I tried explaining to DH but he just looked at me very strangely!! Grin
