When did it first... 'sink in' that you were pregnant?

Question

See I'm 13 weeks.

period stopped and got the symptoms. ive been through morning sickness and everything lol.... but havent had ultrasound or anything yet.. but ive got a little bump..

I mean i really feel this instinctive maternal love for the baby.. but in another way it still does not feel real yet.. you know? For all I know I could have some wierd disease that stopped my period, ive gained weight for no reason etc etc lol

When did it first become real for you?

I think in a couple days when i got for first antenatal appointment and hear the heartbeat, It will finally sink in :)

Its wierd though cause im very much looking forward to meeting my first bubby

Answer 1

For me it was real when I saw the ultrasound at 16wks...then when I turned 17wks and felt the movements and kicks....that made it pretty real. But when its too quite...like I cant feel the movements and stuff...I sort of forget.lol....So I need a constant reminder from my little one to say "Mommy I'm here"....and the movements make me remember that.

Answer 2

Well when i had my daughter i knew i was pregnant when the hpt and blood test matched and times etc. But it didn't feel real untill the first ultrasound when i heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time and i was six and a half weeks.
Same thing this time hpt and blood test match and times but it doesn't feel real yet as i haven't heard or seen the baby on an ultrasound plus it is still a bit overwhelming as our daughter is only 9 months and we have lost a baby between her birth and this pregnancy.

Answer 3

There were two moments when it "became real" for me.

The first time I heard the heartbeat I cried and cried I was so happy (my husband cried too, but he won't admit it). And my 4 month ultrasound when it actually LOOKED like a baby and we found out the gender. There was our little boy waving his hands and jumping every time the doctor pushed on my tummy. And the first time you feel your baby move is wonderful too!

It was amazing! It'll sink in, I think it's a different time for everyone.

Answer 4

when i had an u/s done at 8 weeks. then again at 13 weeks was amazing how much the baby had grown. next appt on the 28th i get to hear the heartbeat :) im almost 16 weeks now.

Answer 5

I know how you feel. I heard my daughters' heart beat. I saw her on the ultra sound and I felt her moving but it didn't really sink in until I held her. Even labor was surreal. I am 22 weeks pregnant now and I feel somewhat the same. i am excited to meet her but it still doesn't feel real. Good luck and Congratulations!!!

Answer 6

well it was first real to me when i heard the heart beat then i saw the ultrasound.. and its real when you see it then after that it didnt seem real again lol and then i had an ultrasound and found out i was having a boy and it seemed real as he was bigger and looked like a boy... then when you feel movements a little bit mroe real.. but its probably never completely real till the baby is in your hands.

Answer 7

With this baby, it was real to me at the first drs appt. Then it really came real to me when I was 2 weeks over due. Then, when she was about 3 weeks old it was really real.

Hope that made sense!

Answer 8

Well, when I got the positive line.

A few days later I was throwing up. So it was pretty real right from the beginning!

lol

Answer 9

It's still sinking in...lol...and don't think it'll really trully sink until labor starts or the baby comes.
