Hey Ladies...

So somedays I feel really pregnant...you know the belly is getting bigger and it's getting hard. And then somedays I don't really feel pregnant. I've seen the heartbeat and the baby on ultra sound but when in my head will I know I'm pregnant. I'm just so scared of losing this baby. I'm over 9 weeks now...do any of you other ladies feel this way?

I am almost 11 weeks and HAVEN'T seen or heard the heartbeat or had an ultrasound. I am going for my first one on thursday and am SO nervous that everything isn't perfect. I hardly slept last night I kept having bad dreams worrying about it. So not sure when our minds can be at ease but I am so there with you!

Do you have any mild cramping? Like period cramps only there is no bleeding? Gosh Im such a worry wart!!

Jackie

I did about 2 weeks ago! I am a worry wart too - EVERYTHING I second guess!

Today I am just uncomfortably bloated! ugh!

I am right there with you Jackie, Last week i hardly had any M/S and felt pretty good and started wondering umm...is everything ok? but then I get blinded by a horrible weekend of M/S and that (along with horribly sore BB's) reminded me yep...its all alright. I feel the same as you with my belly...the less I go no. 2 the more i look pregnant lol

I still feel exactly the same way :)

I worry about the same thing! I am afraid I will go to my doctor appointment this Friday and they won't find a heartbeat.... If I really think about it I know that I am pregnant but there is still that small part of me that wonders....

At 9 weeks, your baby is about the size of a grape, so it takes a while to really FEEL pregnant! I didn't look pregnant until I was 4-5 months along and I only felt pregnant around week 7 because that was when the constant nausea and exhaustion started!

Sounds perfectly normal to me! I was the same way until I started feeling him move all the time!! and as far as the worrying or when you head will know I don't think that ever goes away just something us mommy's do!!

Hi Jackie--

I felt the same way you do....for the first 18 or weeks of my pregnancy. Finally, I believe I'm pregnant even though I'm still not feeling the baby move yet. Between the RLP and my changing body, my brain could no longer fight the evidence. I'm still worried about this baby and how the rest of the pregnancy will go, but I'm trying to keep it all in perspective. A lot easier said than done!
