    I still feel a bit that way at 21 weeks, with bub crashing around in there pretty unmistakably. I was very slow to tell a lot of people this time and before I had told everyone it was even more surreal than it is now.

    With my pregnancy with DD I had real problems trying to come to terms with the fact that it was really happening. Even after she was born I always felt as though she wasn't mine and it took a while to realise that she was here.

    This time around it feels more real but it helps having scans every 4 weeks so I can see what is happening, but there is no mistaking me being pregnant this time around by the size of me and also by the number of kicks and punches I get. I suppose having 2 in there makes it a bit more real..

    I'm 18 weeks & still feel the same, I had some bleeding at 11weeks but our scans show everything ok. We have our 18week scan this week & I am petrified that something is going to be wrong, I almost want to cancel the appointment. With DS I was super excited & all I wanted to talk about was babies & pregnancy, this time I just can't feel at ease. I'm suffering morning sickness & definitely showing now but it still doesn't feel real. I hope we can all start to feel better soon

    Deep down I felt unattached pretty much the whole way through my pg. I didnt make my first appointment until I was 13 wks along and even with the scans and h/b's, it was amazing to hear and see them but it still never felt real until I was holding him in my arms. For me I think it was because he wasn't planned plus the stress of a m/c the year before. It is a very common feeling so try not to worry too much about it. Everything will change once you see and hold your bubba. Good luck with the rest of your pg!!
