    Don't feel pregnant?

    Ok i am apparently 7 weeks pregnant this week but i honestly do not feel pregnant. I have had no morning sickness or bood soreness or anything. Only think is my tummy seems to poke out a bit but i think that is just me putting on weight from eating to much food! I mean i am only 168cm and was 55kg but have gone up to 56 but that is my fault for not exercising like i used to!

    I guess i should be happy i do not have any morning sickness or anything but it would be nice to feel pregnant

    I didn't get any morning sickness - the only time i was sick was on the day long flight from the uk to here and one other time when I ate porridge but that was at about 16 weeks! The only symptoms I had were extreme tiredness but then I was just finishing my degree so studying round the clock.I don't think it sunk in that I was pregnant until I had my first scan at 19 weeks as I missed the dating scan due to flying here! To be honest I think I don't even feel that pregnant now unless I wake up with reflux or try walking between things! lol

    Ok i dont feel so bad now. I was just starting to worry i may not be pregnant!

    I will be having a scan in the next few weeks so hopefully will feel better. When can you usually start to see bub in the scan?

    I have no idea - as I said I had my first scan pretty late on so they were already half formed by then! I' sure anybody else will be more help than me

    SL - i had two early scans - at 5.5 and 8.5 weeks - both internal as it was the only way to get a good image. didn't see bub clearly on external scan until 12w-ish

    it's not unusual to not feel pg - everyone is different in how they respond to the hormones - some of us get horrific nausea, some get horrible up-chucking - and the lucky ones get nothing major!

    probably best to wait till after 7 weeks for a scan as you are more likely to see the heartbeat by then. i had a scan at 6w3d and all they could see was the sac. but all sonographers have different skill levels...

    i didnt feel any different till about 8.5 weeks and it was a relief to start feeling sick. some people feel so normal they dont even realize they are pg.

    Like the other girls have said, everyone and every pregnancy is different. I'm almost 31 weeks, and I still don't feel pregnant! My belly isn't very big (most strangers probably wouldn't realise I'm pg). If it wasn't for my little bub moving around, I'd almost think I wasn't pregnant!

    congrats krittle...

    serenity- I didnt feel sick until like week 7 or 8 with my 2nd all the was until about 18-ish weeks then I was pretty good but came back at the end. I wouldnt worry too much right now about not feeling pregnant yet cause you may be cursing it when you start to feel bub kicking the breath out of your lungs lol.

    with my 1st I was sick witht hat hyperemis gravedium until I had her pretty much, and it happened from about 4ish weeks i was alot luckier with my 2nd.

    oh- and as for the tum poking out! I know what you mean! with my 1st and second I got an instant bloating bump in the first few weeks of falling pregnant it was unreal! So I would say that is definitely an early sympton of pregnancy I hope you keep feeling well, cause theres nothing like spending all day hugging the toilet bowl! haha... good luck with it hun!

    I feel like i could have written this post because that's how I feel sometimes ? I know I am PG but I get scared because apart from the odd little pain in my lower abdomen and feeling a little more tired I don't feel like I'm PG. My tummy is allways bloated and sticking out so that's not really anything to go by ? Wait for the scan darl, I'm sure you'll be just fine. It's different for everyone.

    Hello everyone.

    I had a natural FET on the 30th November and got a BFP on the 15th. Making me 5 weeks pregnant today. With my first two pregnancies everyone knew straight away. My first baby was a surprise at 19 and my second miracle happened after trying for three years and then turning to IUI and finally IVF. I felt blessed that it worked the first time and I was able to freeze 9 eggs.
    I am worried this time and my husband wants to wait until we are at 12 weeks. I really want to tell everyone!! I am not sure if I have morning sickness yet as this week I have had a chest infection which has knocked me for six. With my son a virtually got it straight away and it stopped around week 12.

    My hcg level on 15/12 was 1080 and on 19/12 was 3603. I wish a got more blood request forms so I could go again after Christmas day.

    My next BT is not till the 05/01 with my 7 week scan.
    I have already book my Nuchal Transperancy Scan.

    I am glad to read this thread.

    I don't have many symptoms at all either...my boobs aren't very sore and I don't feel sick. I bit tired and lightheaded sometimes but that's about it

    I didn't feel sick with DS at all. When I had the scan and saw him wriggling about in there, I was thinking - "Oh, there is actually one in there."

    This time around I am so sick that I am sure there is one in there. Every pg is different!!

    I have a scan next Thursday, so I'll get to see bubs for the first time.

    I was sick for the first 3 months with my first 2 pregnacies. Now with my 3rd I was wishing for m/s so I felt pregnant. Well I finally got it at 7 weeks, had a trip to the hospital it was so bad and then it was gone by 9 weeks. I am now 11 weeks and have just about convinced myself something is wrong because I have no symptoms. Hanging out for scan next Friday (16th).

    Like others have said - every pregnancy is different, just take it 1 day at a time
