15 weeks

So, today I am 15 weeks along, I know it sounds silly but I feel like now I am really pregnant. I know that women consider once they reach 12 or 13 weeks pregnant there are in the safe zone and I feel that way too but there is something about 15 weeks that makes me feel...well....more pregnant lol.
Did you ladies feel a point in your pregnancy when it just really hit you that you are pregnant and just had this feeling like "this baby is here to stay"?
Maybe it is because I feel like I am really showing now, not just a belly and because I am really feeling a lot of flutters, I don't know but it just feels good.

Oh I am totally convinced that I am having a girl. I keep referring to the baby as a girl and DB keeps telling me to stop so I don't get my hopes up, I said "they are already up so what does it matter" lol.
I will be happy with another boy too but I think this will be my last baby so I really would like to get my little girl.

Congrats on reaching 15 wks. I personally don't feel safe until I'm driving home from the hosp w/ my newborn. I have had so many complications with this pg so far I'm freaking out about the delivery. I'm actually really scared. I hope you feel better soon. I too love being pg but with the scares I have been having it's hard to be jumping for joy....What do you think you are having I think I'm having a girl and you too!

I really am enjoying it, I love being pregnant, I love it so much that I would seriously consider being a surrogate.
I can't wait to find out what I am having, I didn't find out with my son but this time I feel like I HAVE to know lol. 5 more weeks!!!!

Aw i'm so happy for you. Sounds like you are really enjoying your pregnancy. I think it hit my at 14 weeks. I had a ultrasound done, and i couldn't believe my eyes. Baby actually looked like a baby. I could see a perfect little profile, the cutest nose, and once again the perfect heartbeat. That's when i realized this baby was here to stay, and i'm safe from miscarrying. It's truely amazing. I can't wait until everyone on our forms start reporting what they are having. Boy or girl? eeek!! so exciting!!!

I don't feel a darn thing and honestly, I can't say that I feel connected to this baby... I guess I'm just protecting myself from the pain of a miscarriage... I just don't feel like "nesting" like I did with my 1st baby... maybe I don't want to get attached

maybe it's too early

I don't feel anytihng yet so I don't feel much pregnant only that I am showing  a little bit ...I can't wait to feel the flutters and I can't wait to be 24 weeks, i think that's when I really realize that the baby is here and it will be mine..this is my first and I am extremelly causious! I can't wait to start feeling flutters too , so everyday I take sometime listening to my body and when I lay on my back I can see part of my uterus sticking out more (on the left side, where the baby is ) so I know he is there somewhere but I still can't feel him although I have a small belly :)

probably around like 24wks or so, but they say with ur #2 and so on its sooner so i think by 20wks DH will be feeling our baby move which is exciting cause he didnt get to do that with DD at all, he was gone.

I cant wait until the movements are strong. I can't remember how far along I was when Joe was able to feel the movement last time. When were you able to feel the movements on the outside with your first?
