Question for those that have been pregnant

nursecheryl81 · February 2012

Did you "feel" pregnant every single day? This past week I feel completely normal and not even pregnant. This is normal right?

Nope. Once the first tri symptoms wore off, I felt pretty normal. This could change by day though. One day I'd feel gross and definitely early pregnant, the next (or even later that same day) all symptoms would just disappear. Totally normal

Totally normal (and I remember kinda scary). After the nausea wore off and before the real weight gain and baby moving started, I had several weeks where I felt completely normal and it really worried me, but of course, everything was just fine.

So glad you posted, I've been thinking of you and wondering how you were feeling!

Ditto to all of this. I had bought 50 cheapies off the internet when we started TTC. I may or may not have tested almost daily during that 'no symptom' phase.

I have to say I feel pretty good, hence this post.. Week 7 I had on and off queasy feeling but nothing terrible and nothing that stopped me from eating. I have been tired though..

Totally normal. :-) With this pregnancy my morning sickness/all day sickness pretty much disappeared right around 11 weeks---which you are very close to!

Totally normal!

With Taryn, I hardly felt pregnant at all, especially before I could feel her move. I didn't have nausea or anything like that (well, I did have heartburn but still...).

Totally normal! Like MrsG, I didn't feel anything for quite some time. No nausea, heartburn or anything. I was tired, but not like I was expecting to be. I equate that to not working at the time, though, because I could sleep in as late as I wanted and take naps so I never really "felt" tired.

Not at all, especially in the first trimester. I didn't have a lot of early symptoms, and it really wasn't until I could see a bump that I felt pregnant at all. I really didn't start feeling different until sometime in the second trimester when my BP and sciatic issues started. One thing I've learned from talking to other moms, though, is that there really is no "normal" with pregnancy symptoms. Some days you might feel like crap, and the next you might feel great. I say, enjoy feeling normal while it lasts because you never know when the yuckiness might hit! Haha!

I'm late to this post, but this was me too

So glad that you're feeling good Cheryl!!

I was so nauseous with both pregnancies, but early on that was the only symptom. Well also extreme exhaustion too!

mrsjanks · February 2012

I didn't feel pregnant most days. Once I was showing, sometimes I only felt pregnant if I looked in the mirror or looked down.

Once he was moving around, I felt pregnant all of the time.

eb1113 · February 2012

Not at all. I went through phases where I was completely freaked out and worried because I didn't feel pregnant. Some days I had major symptoms and other days I felt completely normal. Even when it was later in the pregnancy, I would get freaked out because I didn't feel Abbie moving or kicking.

My advice if you are ever worried about it, call your doctor. I had a m/c and my doctor was so understanding when I'd call with panic or worry.
