still don't believe it

I still can't believe I'm pregnant and I'm almost 14 weeks. I've had a smooth ride during my first trimester, just felt tired and nauseous. Now I'm in my second and I feel normal. I haven't gained much weight and only just started showing. Everyone treats me like I'm so delicate now but I feel exactly the same, just no beer and cigarettes.

Does anyone else feel like this even though they know they're pregnant? When will I start to feel pregnant....I feel like everyone is googly eyed about it except me.

You ladies are so optimistic! I'll definitely try to think more positively and enjoy this time rather than fixating on why it's going this way. I just hope that this doesn't turn into post-partum afterwards since I don't even feel like there's a baby in there -_-. Probably doesn't help that I haven't had any ultrasounds yet so I don't know how my baby is doing.

I'm almost 25 weeks and I still can't believe this is happening! Everyone said I would believe it when I saw  the u/s, then they said maybe when you start showing, then it was maybe when the kid starts moving, I think I'm going to be one of those mothers who give birth and are like.."wow there was a baby in there!"
I think its a cooping mechanism. I'm too worried about the possibility of something going wrong and us losing the baby to feel a strong conection to her. Its a little sad but hopefully since I recognize what the problem is I can work on building that bond

Well you'll definitely start to feel pregnant when that little one starts kicking and punching you! That's when it really started to hit me. And of course seeing my baby on ultrasounds always reassured me that I had a little one growing in me :). Just enjoy the easy pregnancy. I did up until later in the third trimester where things started to get a little bad, esp with the aches and gestational diabetes

It will def come, don't worry about that.
just enjoy it.. in my opinion, feeling pregnant,
is not a great feeling..
swullen, pain, ache, easily annoyed, tired, nausea, dizziness..
Third trimester will be there in full flavour soon enough.

Haha I think I know how you feel. If I wasn't researching all this baby stuff I would also forget I'm pregnant. It might hit you once you notice ur belly more, at least I think that's what's gonna happen to me. I feel normal and tomorrow I'm 15 wks. I've seen my sisters pregnant, my bff, my cousin, even my mom haha I guess now that it's me in the situation ... it's just hard to believe :) super excited tho!
