reality?

[agladding]

Hello I am 21, my first pregnancy didn't last and now I am pregnant again, this time the pregnancy being successful thus far (13w4d). For so e reason I'm always on edge and don't feel pregnant at all. When will reality sink and and I can finally relax about being pregnant? Anyone have a struggle with this?

[agladding]

I guess time will just tell. I'm sure I'll snap out of this feeling after my next ultrasound. It makes me feel uncomfortable that when I go to the Dr. They don't do an ultrasound each time. Would it be crazy to buy one of those at home heart monitor things?

I had a couple miscarriages when I was twentyone also, but mine were due to a hormone deficiency. I now have a son and another baby on the way. I never had any morning sickness with any of my pregnancies, which always made me anxious. I was the most nervous when I was expecting my son. My nerves subsided after the first ultrasound, eased up even more when I found out the gender, and was pretty much gone by the time I got into third trimester. It was really hard during early pregnancy because I was always on edge not knowing.

Also I'm 24, married and understand how weird you feel when everyone else your age is being irresponsible. I'm paying for my entire delivery out of pocket and it just baffles me how my friends are barely getting by on what I make. I just don't understand! Plus we(hubby and i) are still paying off the wedding and my husband's sizeable tractor loan, along with my car lease and insurance and buying baby gear. And we still put money into savings for taxes.

Im a ftm and I totally get what you mean. I felt like a poser, lol. I wanted a baby so bad I felt like I was dreaming or something. Then morning sickness made me feel like I had the flu for two months(not fun, lol) the first ultrasound showed me there was in fact a baby in me(best feeling ever!) But a few days later I started worrying about what if I do something wrong or something happens and I lose her? then I started showing, which just made me feel fat for a week or two... Then the baby started moving just a little, and I lived for those moments. It was incredible! Then she started moving a little more and more noticeably. Best few weeks of my pregnancy!then I was really showing and my mobility was practically gone. Feel like a whale now and Im ready for her to come out, but she's not quite ready yet. I'm 34w2days and trying so hard not to count the hours until shes here! Good luck and enjoy!

I lost my daughter at 13 weeks a year and a half ago. I finally started feeling okay about everything around 20 or so weeks. Still scary though!

Yes, I've heard the heartbeat twice, but I'm always still so nervous for some reason. I guess its strange too being pregnant while the rest of kids our age are hitting the bars. With that said I don't act like a 21 year old what so ever, I'm married, own a house, and have my priorities in line to say the least. Maybe that is what makes it so unreal to me. I like to shop but maternity clothes are not what I have an interest in right now. Maybe once I feel the baby move around things will change a bit.

At 20 weeks I began to feel her move a lot and it became more real to me. I'm also 21 and it really is surreal lol. I had a bleeding scare at 10 weeks and even after hearing the heartbeat twice since then I really didn't feel "in the clear" until my 20 week ultrasound.

I didn't really feel pregnant until my baby girl started kicking at 20wks. Im now 26wks & loving the feeling of being pregnant

[PBaby1]

I decided to look at needing maternity clothes as an excuse to go shopping so that I wouldn't dread it

[agladding]

Its so strange, I cringe at the thought of looking at maternity clothes! I think I'm stuck on expecting the worse and I'm not sure how to avoid that feeling. I think once I can feel the baby move it'll be a little easier!

Once I started feeling kicks at 23 weeks, it hit me a little.  Now having my baby shower sunday, it's all becoming real. I'm 29 weeks now.

It didn't sink in that I was actually going to have a baby until maybe 2 weeks ago...I was 37 weeks lol
