What does it physically fell like to be pregnant?

Question

I know you feel sick but whats it feel like inside? Does it feel like a knot on the side u conceived for the first month or so? When it gets bigger does it feel like a balloon in your stomach? Do your knees , legs ,or feet swell or feel like u have arthritis in them? How soon can you feel it move? I think you get the idea of the qustion!!

Answer 1

In the early stages, beside feeling sick, you may feel little knot or bloating in your belly area. When the baby is big enough for you to feel his/her first kicks, it feels like butterflies fluttering around in your belly. In your third trimester, I think that's the worse time! Clothes don't fit, we waddle, we have acid reflux, we swell in our hands and feet/legs. We get stretch marks in places we never thought of. UGH! LOL. But overall it is a wonderful experience.

Answer 2

When I found out that I was pregnant I was 3 months. For those 3 months I felt really good in the morning then in the afternoon really tired and sleepy. I would sleep a lot on my days off and on the weekends. I was lucky enough not to throw up a lot. I was always eating crackers to ease the nausea. Then at 4-5 months I was hungry constantly. The only food that was satisfying was hamburgers and fries it did not matter where they were from. At this point I I threw up twice. It was because I had pizza one day for lunch never again I had pizza for the remainder of the pregnancy. At this point you start to feel the baby. It sounded like gurgle coming from my stomach but it is the baby moving inside. It feels really great. Then for the remainder of the pregnancy was really hard for me. I was so stressed out. And worried. The best of being pregnant was the shopping. I felt in my heart that I was going to have a daughter and I did. So I have a lot of pink. For the last two months I just wanted my baby out. My baby got bigger. She weighed 8 lbs. My feet did not swell not until I gave birth to her. Good luck Just remember every pregnancy is different

Being pregnant is the most amazing experience! But each pregnancy and each woman who experiences pregnancy will have a different experience. With my first pregnancy I was so sick. Morning, noon and nite. So I really don't get why they call it morning sickness. I was hospitalized one time and went to the ER once for dehydration. My feet were swollen and I had heartburn constantly. Certain smells drove me crazy and trust me I could smell anything. Your nose is, or at least mine was, very sensitive. But the first time you feel that little baby move inside you (usually between 4 and 5 months) it's the weirdest feeling. The best way I can describe it is like having butterflies in your stomach. As your pregnancy progresses you get uncomfortable, its hard to find a comfortable sleeping position and you can become a complete bear to deal with. You feel like your carrying around a basketball and are constantly getting jabbed in the ribs and bladder. Makes for having a bathroom close by a TOTAL NECESSITY! And then you deliver and you have a beautiful little baby. Not saying the delivery is easy, but seeing your little child totally makes the whole 9 months totally worth it!!!!!

Every pregnancy is different. With my 1st child I had morning sickness. My feet did swell up. When you get bigger it feels like you have on a very tight shirt of bathing suit because your skin is so tight. When the baby moves inside it feels like when you have butterflies in the beginning which is At 5 - 6 months when the baby gets bigger your whole stomach moves its crazy.

Answer 5

You can feel different with different pregnancies. With my daughter I had really bad side pain for the first month and then some bleeding but she is now ten. I felt full and sometimes felt what felt like a heart beat very down low. My feet didn't swell until like 6 or 7 months.

Answer 6

I honestly didn't feel any different until the fifth month or so other than just being tired. I felt bloated (basically just looked like I had bad PMS).
I didn't start to actually show at all or feel movement until well into my fifth month.
I don't feel it growing, just kicking/moving. I haven't had any swelling yet either, but with the summer and my due date around the corner, I'm sure it will happen.

Answer 7

every pregnancy is different, but for me in the beginning (the first trimester) MORNING SICKNESS!! and i felt like butterflies in my belly. sometimes cramps and like a jumping sensation. the second trimester i started to show, but it was weird, i didn't feel like i was getting bigger until i felt him move the first time (the 5th month). that was surreal. i was in the shower and i felt like someone rubbed the inside of my belly with a little ball. the third trimester i felt very front heavy and my son moved ALL THE TIME. mostly when i was relaxing and listening to music. my back hurt, my feet were so swollen i had to get new shoes, i had headaches, etc. it was all worth it though. hope this helps!!

Answer 8

well at first i couldn't tell, but as my stomach got bigger i couldn't do anything.
the last couple of month the baby kicks about 10-20 times every 2 hours or so. the feeling feels weird but its exiting, and yes it feels like a balloon. the only thing that sucks is that you always need to pi....

Answer 9

It is a weird feeling. It is hard to describe. Depending on your body, you may or may not get swollen feet or ankles. When I first felt my daughter move, it was like getting butterflies in my stomach. I was around 20 or so weeks when I first felt her move.

Answer 10

In the beginning your just sick, then later on when the baby moves it literally feels like something is living inside of you....it's really cool
