14 weeks pregnant and don't feel pregnant!! is this normal?

Question

i have been having terrible feelings of sickness and sometimes physically being sick during my pregnancy (this is my first) i'm still off most foods and starting to get my sleep pattern back to normal coz i was sleeping ALL THE TIME
is this normal to not feel pregnant at this stage? i read on the babycentre website that it is but i'm just wondering if anyone out there has had or does now feel the same way.
thankyou

Answer 1

I definitely felt like that at one point during my first pregnancy. I was feeling pretty icky at first and then later on, I felt great, like I wasn't even pregnant. I know what you are going through and how you are feeling, it's very normal. Enjoy feeling good right now!

Answer 2

I know exactly how you feel. I'm thrilled to death about being pregnant and cannot wait to have a baby, but I hate what its doing to my body. Never in my life has a tshirt clung to my belly, and I absolutely hate it. I hate having to rifle through my husband's closet to find clothes just to wear around the house. I bought a few maternity clothes, but I only wear those when I go out and want to keep them clean for when that happens. I feel like a beached whale, though everyone says I look great for 7 months. I've felt this way since 10 weeks. I personally didn't feel much better when the bump got more pronounced because I still felt like my face was huge and everything else.... At least now I look pregnant instead of just plain fat, which is a help ---- but the biggest help I've had is knowing that its temporary and I've already made plans with a personal trainer when its all said and done to get my body back. Maybe try something like that? Start planning your exercise routine now and look forward to doing it. Don't buy too many bigger clothes if you can avoid it because that will just give you an exscuse later to put off losing the weight. Good luck with it!

Well first of all, if you have been feeling sick and sleeping a lot then you were feeling pregnant. Those are classic pregnancy symptoms.

By 14 weeks many women find that the early symptoms of sickness and fatigue start to fade away so if this is the case for you, thank your luck stars that you are getting some relief!

You will start to feel baby movements in a couple of weeks and then the pregnancy might seem more "real" to you. You will also look down and see your tummy growing more quickly now.

If you are dealing with morning sickness and being very tired etc, these are what you would be feeling at this stage in pregnancy. I do understand though. Before i started showing more and started feeling the baby move around more i had a similar feeling. It's like is all this nausea even for anything? Then you start to feel your baby move and get to see the baby in an ultrasound and it makes it even more real to you. We are almost in our 6th month and going for an ultrasound on friday the 8th. I so can't wait to see how big the baby has gotten since our last one at 10 weeks. If you are that worried about it then talk to your doctor. If you can't talk to your doctor about just about anything then you need to find another doctor. You should feel totally comfy with your doc, i mean the man or woman is going to be seeing you most likely with your legs in the air. Change docs if you can't ask them anything or tell them anything. They are there for you, you are paying them to do their job.
Good Luck!

i`m comin upon 12 weeks and I have the same problem... no more symptoms. In the beginning I was sick all the time.... I had really sore breasts... they were full... and now I am back to normal I don`t get sick anymore... I just don`t have an appetite at all unless it`s like fruit or something like that... I try to eat chicken and steak and things of this sort but I just can`t do it. When I first found out I was hungry always eating like a COW ...I was worried but according to my doctor everything is fine... I read everywhere [what to expect when ur expecting] when you get right at about 12-16 wks your symtoms start going away

Hi, This very normal I'm having my first baby aswell (34wks)and did experience those signs, of sickness, going off alot of different foods and even having afternoon naps just because your tired and if you are then take the chance and have a nap. You will also experience cramp feelings in your stomach in the next few weeks to come its just your uterus growing for your baby. With me quite far on I'm still having the odd nap during the day and you never know that might happen to yourself. All the best

Answer 7

Perfectly normal ! I didn't feel pregnant until my bump started showing but then I didn't have any physcial symptoms like morning sickness either. You have some very common pregnancy symptoms like sleeping ALL the time & morning sickness. Don't worry chick, you'll soon start to feel pregnant !

Answer 8

Once all the nasty bits of pregnancy are gone , ie being sick sleeping alot , it is quite normal not to feel pregnant . ur body has ajusted to the shock and is settling into nurturing ur baby ...relax and enjoy as near the end u,ll most likely be uncomfortable have swollen ankles and not sleep very well ...all the best my friend xoxo

Answer 9

Around 12 weeks all of the symptoms usually go away as your placenta takes over the hormone control. I did not feel pregnant to around 4-5 months when my belly started be obvious and I had my first kick. Don't drive yourself crazy. this is the good time, pregnant, no symptoms, no heartburn, enjoy it.

Answer 10

I didn't feel pregnant until I was like 20 weeks. It's normal! As long as ur doctor say ur baby is doing good then nothing to worry about.
