Early pregnancy but don't feel very pregnant

Just that really. I came off contraception last month and am already pregnant. Reading stories on here of people's heartbreak TTC and MC it makes me feel even more concerned that I don't feel any different except so incredibly tired but struggling to stay asleep as mostly I need a wee. Did anyone else feel like this? I want to be excited but I also want to just keep my cool about it just in case. I work shifts and this isn't helping as I feel it probably isn't a healthy lifestyle to be pregnant in but against that women do this all the time. Just after some views really... Tia

Totally normal ! Don’t worry ! And people can “feel pregnant” for a while after an MC so it doesn’t mean anything ! Wait till the morning sickness starts Grin

Thank you. I guess I'm feeling emotional too because I'm both laughing and crying. Silly really. I appreciate your response though. I feel I'm going mad. I got worried about raw honey earlier but have managed to be ok with that now. My booking in appt isn't until mid April and I don't want to tell the family until it's "official" so feel a little alone in this too. My DP is cucumber cool about it so I don't want to keep on at him with my little worries.

I had no pregnancy symptoms other than the bump and kicking much later on. I remember being worried too but really I was just lucky!

I'll hold on to lucky then. I'm only just 4 weeks (well two...) first sign was no period and my cycle is done to the day so was a big giveaway!

I take it this is your first , OP. Most women don't "feel pregnant" at all until they are much further along. Some women never feel it ( ie the ones you read about , "she didn't know until the baby was born ", it really does happen sometimes. ) Congratulations by the way .

Thank you Smile Yes my first and be whilst not entirely unplanned, definitely unexpected! I thought I'd have more time to plan or something instead it has come now but I'm pleased and happy with a December baby all being well. Just would like to feel I'm doing something rather than waiting. I'm rather impatient at times so know it will be a long 9 months...
