When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

I'm just wondering when you all started to really FEEL pregnant? I feel crampy and my boobs are big and sore...but I dont really feel PG...I just feel kind of worn out and blah.

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

For me, I have to say I didn't start to feel pregnant until I started showing. I did not have morning sickness, cravings or anything and my pregnancy was really great (I'm going to miss it ) so up until the end really, I can't say I felt *much* different. In fact, even now, I sometimes forget

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

For me it was probably around 5 months or so.

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

Good question. I was wondering the same. I'm 7 weeks and so far, things haven't been so bad. In fact, I am feeling better now than I did a few weeks ago- I hope that's not a bad sign

I also forget sometimes, and other times I obsess over it. I can't wait until my next doctor appointment! Only 26 more days.

Hate to say it but around five months when someone noticed I was pg. In ther beginning I was just nauseous and throwing up every night. But that did not make me feel pg. Unfortunately.

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

Ditto for me too and im starting to show now at 4 months -

Odd thing is, sometimes I still don't feel pregnant and im showing!

I think ill especially start feeling pregnant once I feel the baby...i can't wait!!!!!!!!!

When I started to feel the baby moving @ 16 weeks. But, I have to say...sometimes I still catch myself off guard when I pass a mirror and see my big belly. Holy sh!t! I'm having a baby???

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

I didn't feel pg until I felt the baby move around 20 weeks. I was lucky enough not to have any morning sickness.

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

I feel nauseous, tired, moody, crampy, fat and just not like "me" ..

but I truly don't feel PREGNANT whatsoever.. just sick and as if I had extreme PMS for MONTHS now

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

I'd have to agree that the first *real* feeling of being pregnant was when I felt the baby at @18 weeks. This week (22 weeks) is the first time I REALLY feel my body is different (beyond the clothes not fitting). I felt it was harder to bend and be on my feet a long time this week. I went to prenatal yoga (the class is in your area Kathy-FM if you're interested) and the classes are definitely getting harder for me.

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

I'd say around 5-6 months...when I really started showing and when I really started to feel the baby.

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

For my first, I felt preggo at 6 months- Now I dont feel preggo at all.. prob. wont until I feel the baby move...

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

I probably didn't start to feel PG until recently when my belly really popped. I wear full on maternity clothes now and it truly feels real.

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

when the belly started to show....and I still don't truly FEEL pregnant. The only way I know is that my belly is growing!

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

I too never really "felt" pregnant in the beginning.. And sometimes I would wake up in the morning and think that the baby "went away". Not like a morbid thought, but like a "maybe i wasnt really pregnant after all" thought. I think now at 6 months was when it sank in. I had no symptoms in the beginning, no morning sickness, no tiredness, no nothing. Now my stomach is big, and i can hardly bend down to CLEAN, and cant see my hoo hoo in the shower anymore.

And I am officially feeling my little booger kicking and punching away, no more flutters. So now it is SO REAL!!

I also looked in the mirror a few weeks ago, and saw my protruding stomach and got this panic feeling that came over me... i was like " How am I going to do this??? It felt good goin in, Its not gonna feel so good coming out!! I"m still scared as hell....

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

at about 7 weeks when my head was constantly in the toilet.

Re: When did you first start to really FEEL pregnant?

I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow, and I'm definitely showing, but I still don't really feel pregnant. I feel big and it's hard to sleep and it's starting to get harder to move around, but I don't think I really connect that with being pregnant. I hope I'll start to feel pregnant when I feel the baby move!
