15w don't feel pregnant

Looking for a bit of reassurance please...

I'm just over 15w now but don't feel pregnant at all any more. Nausea and headaches have gone and the flutters I was feeling at 13 weeks have stopped. I spoke to the midwife who said unless I'm bleeding, it's fine, but as I've had 5 previous miscarriages, I can't help but worry. Anyone else feel / felt the same?

I found the stage between symptoms going and before getting proper movements the most anxious as like you say I didn’t feel pregnant but it was fine and I just kept repeating to myself there is no reason to think there’s anything wrong.

I’m 16 weeks today and feel exactly the same! I was really lucky and didn’t have many symptoms during the first trimester anyway, but now I really don’t have any symptoms! Spent the last few weeks feeling more or less my normal self.

I think I’m finding the wait for the 20 week scan more nerve wracking than the wait for the 12 week scan. Just have to assume/hope everything is fine. I think these feelings are pretty common from what I’ve read so you’re definitely not alone.

I was exactly the same. There’s a long period between the 12 week scan and the time when you start to feel movement etc and to me it felt like nothing was happening and I didn’t feel at all pregnant.

Now 34 weeks and all is well! Once you start feeling kicks you will be reassured Flowers

Do you have a 16 week midwife appointment where they listen to baby's heartbeat?
I am 21 weeks today and felt like you but the appointment gave me reassurance.

Thanks for all your replies, good to know this is normal.

My next midwife has been moved to a phone call so I won't see anyone till 20 weeks. I've decided that I'd rather just put my mind at ease now so have paid for a private scan tomorrow. Hopefully it'll just be a nice chance to see the little one again.

I went for a scan this morning. Baby girl was kicking and drinking away. I know it was silly to panic but I feel so much better for seeing her again. Thanks for your messages of reassurance.

I feel the same but it's a welcome relief from the afwul sickness and tiredness of the first trimester, feel like I can eat finally!
