Hi

So I'm 17 + 3 and I don't feel pregnant! I feel really fine/good. Totally normal, in fact. I've had two doppler checks in the past two weeks and the baby's heart beat is strong; although I have a bump, it's not a big bump. I could disguise it easily. (I'm quite small/lean and I did lots of exercise before and have continued to since pregnancy so may stomach muscles are strong).

I was sick and felt yukky in first trimester, but not all the time.

I know I should feel lucky and I do - I am pleased to feel so fine.

But it also worries me a bit. Shouldn't I be feeling more, well, pregnant? It makes me anxious about my 20 week scan as if something might be wrong.

i think the way you feel is probably how people are meant to feel so enjoy it before you get too big, hot and tired!

I think that is fine. The second trimester is the bit where you do feel pretty normal. The third trimester will have you feeling really pregnant

I didn't even know I was pregnant until 23 weeks - so don't worry! Am now 29 weeks and all is healthy.xxx

I am 5' 10'' and am 29 weeks gone. Only started to show in the last month, but ppl still can't believe I am nearly 7 month gone. an still disguise my little bump with certain clothes. Apart from dizziness, I didn't feel preg. either. It wasn't until I was 19 weeks and felt the 1st kick that I started to feel a 'bit' pregnant. haha

Me too. I maybe had a little flutter last week but think now it was probably wind. And I am exhausted. But sickness has gone and no bump yet so am convinced I have imagined the whole thing. Midwife said this is normal and she thinks it is the most horrible part of pregnancy for this reason.

I was fine in my first trimester and didn't feel pregnant at all, half way through the second the symptoms came and morning sickness started! Hopefully you will continue to feel good for the rest of your pregnancy!
