Is it normal to feel this way???

The past week or so I dont really feel pregnant. Is this normal? I still get sick, my boobs still hurt like hell but I just dont really feel pregnant. I am 14 weeks now. I have seen and heard the heartbeat twice. I have started to feel flutters but its not everyday. I feel that from where I have been so constipated and straining and taking small puffs here and there on my husbands cigarettes I have hurt the baby. (I was a smoker and quit after I found out I was pregnant) I have tried everything that my dr and my books and websites have said to eat and drink to relieve constipation, I even took a stool softener and NOTHING. I hurt so bad! Im just getting really depressed.

Yeah it is normal.. your body is getting used to the idea of being pregnant! You are now in the 2nd trimester... You will probably feel like this for a few weeks. Dont stress.. Everying will be ok!

OMG! I'm feeling the exact same way. I'm 14 weeks, i've been sick with morning sickness, my boobs were hurting, and then once i hit my 13th week, it was like everything went away. I know it's normal for things to get better once you hit the 3rd month, but i'm getting just as nervous as you are.
I dont think a few drags of a cigarette is going to harm your baby, but try your best to quit. I was a smoker to, and just stopped when i found out i was pregnant. I just knew i had to stop. It's a mentality thing.
As for the constipated, i'm going through the same thing. My stomach hurt so bad from not going. I've read to eat more fiber. Eat an apple everyday, and go buy those dried appricots, or craisens. Stuff like that should help. But i plan i talking to my dr about that on wednesday. So i feel your pain, hopfully things will get better. :o)
