Has anyone else felt like this?

This is my first post and I suppose I’m just trying to figure out if I’m being a bit mad or not.

I’m about 12+3 and I’ve done two tests, both positive. I’ve been for my booking appt and have my first scan next week - but part of me is utterly convinced they’re going to say to me ‘erm, really sorry but you’re not actually pregnant...’

I know that probably sounds a bit mad, but physically (aside from slightly larger boobs), I don’t even look a tiny bit pregnant. I’ve been sick a lot, but I suffer with anxiety a lot and I’ve got myself quite worked up that I’m making a big fool out of myself. Am I the only person to feel like this?

It might be because this was so unexpected - I’ve been on the pill for about 13 years!

Yes! I'm thought that too but honestly don't worry :)

HPTs are very accurate!

No I felt exactly like this - had sore boobs and tiredness but other than that I felt normal.

When I went for my scan my bladder was so full you couldn’t see baby so I panicked but then she found it - felt like a fraud in that minute 😂

I’m 16 & 1 now and feel even less pregnant as I feel pretty much normal again!

Haha yup I was the exact same!! I genuinely thought I'd be told I'd imagined it all!

I'm now 27 weeks and feeling the little poppet wriggling around

So glad I’m not alone! It’s been on my mind SO much, I can see how some people go through so many tests!

It's extremely common to feel like that. I felt like that when I was a week overdue - convinced that I wasn't actually really pregnant and that my middle would just start to deflate. I mean, I knew that wasn't really true, but I thought it every day until she popped out at 40+10. Congratulations!

Yep! I got pregnant our first month actively trying thinking that we were going to struggle to conceive for various reasons (mainly my age and BMI) it just seemed too good to be true and quite unreal. I also suffer from anxiety and was half convinced I was imagining things. I ended up taking far too many pregnancy tests and didn't stop until we went for a private early scan and could see a heartbeat :)

I’m glad to hear I’m not alone. I just keep thinking maybe I’ve just got wind haha!

Yes I went through that, it's the shock of it that makes you think like that. Plus at 12 weeks most of us don't really 'feel' pregnant so it's hard to get your head around. A few more weeks and things will change...

I had terrible anxiety before every scan...I just gave birth to my baby 3 weeks ago x

I was the same! It wasnt until I had a scan and actually saw the baby that I believed I was pregnant!x

Completely normal - I was astonished at the first scan that there actually was a baby in there
