Q: 13 Weeks But I Don't Feel Pregnant

I have a question for all you moms.....I'm 13 weeks and pregnant with my second child. I've heard the baby's heartbeat and seen it on a ultrasound.....But I still don't "feel" pregnant. Is that normal. I want so much to start showing and "feel" pregnant. Also is it normal to not feel as excited with the second. I was so excited with my first and now I don't have any desire to go baby shopping etc....Although I do want this baby and it was a planned pregnancy. Maybe it's because i'm so paranoid that something will happen to this baby and i'll lose it? I don't know...Any advice!?

Aww well congrats on your pregnancy..But yes I know where you are coming from with the whole thing about not feeling pregnant..Throught my first 20 weeks I wanted sooo bad for my belly to get bigger but then when it got huge I wanted it to go away..Because I could hardly move or do anything...But as for not having the desire and excitement...Im not sure because i've only had one...And I loved the whole shopping thing and getting his room ready ...

me being pregnant never sunk in until I got uncomfortably big. I didn't have morning sickness, but I was nausious... After about 3 months, I felt fine!! Not pregnant, that's for sure. But then I started feeling her move and it reassured me everyday that I was pregnant.

This is my first and I don't have that desire to go shopping and get all giddy about clothes. But I am excited about her pink little baby room and her pink little bed! Anyways...I've heard that many women, after their 1st child, don't think they'll love the 2nd baby as much, or won't be as excited...So what you're going through is totally normal!!

How old is your 1st baby? Is he/she excited to have a new brother or sister??

Don't feel pregnant at all since 11.5 weeks!

Hi Niamh I'm 14 weeks and have my first scan next weeks. I feel like nothing's inside me and no more nausea, only sore nipples not boobs and not really showing except for a tire of FAT I can squeeze! On the other hand no spotting or cramping or miscarriage like symptoms. What's going on I wonder? Been scaring myself reading about missed miscarriages at 12-14 weeks...relatively late on and horrible stories of people having to have induced miscarriages as their body won't let go of a dead baby! I hope hope hope feeling normal is normal!

Niamh - It's normal for your pregnancy symptoms to come and go during early pregnancy. Try not to worry. If you have severe cramping or bleeding - that is a sure sign that something is not going right...
Try to relax until your ultrasound next week and get plenty of rest and stop reading things that will make you scared of losing your baby! Have hope:) Good luck.
