Short answer ...no!!! A couple of weeks ago I started having period cramps and my boobs were sore and the first thing I thought was 'OH NO my period is coming!' Mind you I could also feel my baby kicking at the same time!! LTTC never really goes away.

I also found it hard (and still do) to get things ready because it aways seems too early. Even though I am 38 weeks now and could go into labour any minute I still think people are thinking I am not really that pregnant yet and I have ages to go. I first joined up my local children's centre's bellybuddies group when I was about 13 weeks and felt like a fraud being there. I felt everyone was 'more pregnant' than me and I didn't go back until I was at least 25 weeks!! Even my antenatal class I was one of the 'least' pregnant. I had been booked on it because they don't have many in my area and i just fell into that timeslot. I could have let the earth swallow me up when we all had to give our due dates!! Everyone was at least 32 weeks pregnant and I was 25 weeks. Embarrassingly I almost punched the air and jumped for joy when the lady after me said she was due a week after me!!! LOL!

I honestly believe it will only sink in for me when I have the baby in my arms and then I will probably be looking around for his mother!!!

I think though it is probably harder for you at the moment because you are not yet settled where you are going to live. Once that happens then you can begin to nest.

Good luck!
