Not 'feeling' pregnant

Now this is my third so you would think by this time I would be a bit calmer about the whole thing, but apparently not I had 2 easy pregnancies before, no real symptoms except sore boobs with my first and a bit of nausea with the second (which had gone by 7 weeks!), so I am not a person who suffers. For some reason today though, I'm 6+2, I feel not at all pregnant. Having said that I don't know how I 'felt' pregnant yesterday, but today just feels different. Having a scan in a couple of weeks for viability but that suddenly feels a long way off. I know there's nowt to say, just thought I would let my strange thoughts out of my head and hope they go away!

Back to the revision tonight to keep my mind off it, I have an exam in a week for my second degree . . . . maybe that's why I don't feel pregnant, too busy feel like a student

Once my boobs stopped feeling sore, I had no symptoms for quite a while, and I remember feeling not pregnant.

A friend of mine told me that when she went for her first scan, she felt so un-pregnant, she felt sure they'd tell her that there was no baby there, and then everyone would be really annoyed with her!

We both have lovely little boys now.

Enjoy your lack of symptoms (for now!) I'm sure you'll have lots later!

Congratulations BTW

I was sick all day every day from weeks 6-14 :-/

Those were the kind of symptoms I could have done without...

If you're getting some relief then enjoy it because tomorrow or the next day you could wake up feeling exhausted, having a head ache, with sore boobs, skin break out etc etc...

Sure you have nothing to worry about!

I don't 'feel' pregnant either. It's my first pregnancy and it is terrifying me My mum didn't get any symptoms or sickness or anything, nor did my partner's mum. Still, not having any symptoms (apart from slightly tender boobs) is making me feel like a bit of a fraud. I have a scan tomorrow at 7+4 but absolutely bricking it because at the last scan they said I looked more like 5 weeks (only sac visible) so hoping for a bit more 'evidence' tomorrow.

i don't feel pregnant apart from teh costipation. Have managed to get to 12 and a bit weeks with no symptoms at all.

I'm 6ish weeks pregnant and had been feeling 'REALLY' pregnant. Then yesterday didn't feel pregnant so paniked and did a test again this morning. Still pregnant!! Phew! I don't remember this from last time so maybe it's to do with the weather?

Thanks ladies, I know I will probably not get symptoms as I didn't the last couple of times. It's that limbo place of needing confirmation that I'm not making the whole thing up

miamix - good luck tomorrow at the scan. I had an early one at 5 weeks and there was just the sac, infact 2!?!?!? It's not uncommon as the heart doesn't start beating until 6 weeks so hopefully tomorrow will calm you

I have been having these feelings too (hello Dueling from another thread!) - am 7 weeks+4, did a test about 5 days ago as was convinced I felt too 'normal' to be pregnant. (It was positive.) Am trying not to do this every day (for fear of being bankrupt by week 13!) but it's hard. I have a scan tomorrow (as it was an IVF baby) so I know I'm lucky not to be waiting another 5+ weeks for any real confirmation.

Anyway, if I'm anything to go by it seems fairly normal to be relatively symptom-free (though I do have bigger boobs and probably a bit of tiredness).

cheekymonk · 07/06/2010 16:09

Hooray I am normal! I am 5+2 and have done another test today as feeling so not pregnant. I say this but my tummy seems to be really bloated which has shocked me so early on.Boobs feel huge and just really bulbous for want of a better word!!!
My family are getting cross with me about being so open about pregnancy but I just can't help it!
Hope your scan goes well miamix and everyone elsexx

I found out on saturday im pregnant which makes me 4 weeks 1 day so early, i dont feel anything at all

MrsMopple · 07/06/2010 16:21

I didn't feel pregnant with this much longed for and 36 month ttc marathon pregnancy. No nausea, sore boobs or anything. Just lack of AF and a positive hpt. So I went for a scan at 7 weeks and that was when I found out I was expecting twins!! (Due this August). Not that I want to worry you or anything, but lack of symptoms doesn't mean lack of pregnancy!

xkatyx · 07/06/2010 16:46

Oh my goodness lol i had a dream about twins last night and yesterday i went to my mums and she made me some breakfast and all the eggs she cracked where double yokes lol its like a sign.

Congratulations on you pregnancy

I am 15+4 weeks and although I have had 2 scans I still don't 'feel' pregnant now that the nausea has stopped. I'm absolutely exhausted and slightly chubbier but apart from that I don't have a bump yet and my boobs aren't changing in the slightest. I think what makes it worse is that I keep reading that 'this' or 'that' is what should be happening to me at this particular week and nothing is.
Although I have blood tests and possibly another scan booked for next week I don't think I will be happy until I have my very own bump as some sort of proof.
paranoid much?!
