"Feeling pregnant"

[minimatron]

I dont particularly feel pregnant, i just know that there is something in there because my belly is getting bigger and my nipples and bbs are huge!!!
I think I will feel much more pregnant when baby starts kicking and I can feel it.

I have to say that for the most of my pregnancy, I have seriously questioned if I am in fact pregnant! I occasionally get a sore back or (more recently) hip or I'll feel Bubbles move - other than that - nothing! I've coped with my concerns by keeping busy. Very busy. Hang in there - I am sure everything is fine!

I was not 100% convinced that I had anything but amenoria until I had an US at emergency last week when I had a bad stomach flu with fever and throwing up (wanted to check all was OK)...since then I've caught myself fondly rubbing my tummy many times a day...I think the subconscious does a lot for you!!


In the last few days I've been able to feel movements and got a big one this morning and that's really helped it for me. I only have a firm swelling to my lower tummy as yet so I don't look so outwardly pregnant but I'm really 'connecting' with my tummy psychologicaly. Don't stress about it. You're a fair way in now and it'll be no time before you won't be able to ignore the fact you're pregnant!
