Finishing my 16th week and just DON'T "feel pregnant"
God, do I hate this. When will my baby kick? I am heavy so seeing myself larger from pregnancy is hard to recognize although I think maybeeee my stomach is changing shape a bit, near my belly button. Maybe not. Is is all in my head? I just cannot wait to BELIEVE I am really pregnant. I am always nervous. I actually sit here and think, did my baby stop breathing! Why do I have this anxiety? Symtoms are long gone so it's so hard. I go for my next appointment on tuesday and for a sono too since 4 weeks ago I was having a tiny bit of spotting (went away) so I cannot wait to again "believe" there is a baby in there. Wonder if we'll get to know the sex too at 16 weeks..hummm.
Thanks for letting me vent ladies

I feel the same way. I actually feel great. I dont even feel pregnant except for my growing stomach.

Re: Finishing my 16th week and just DON'T "feel pregnant"
I totally know how you feel!!! You sound like me!!  The only thing that keeps me sane is hearing the HB on the fetal doppler I rented because I don't have symptoms anymore either AND (if it makes you feel any better) I am now 18 weeks along and I still haven't felt the baby yet. I heard some people don't feel the baby until as late as 22-23 weeks. Hopefully that won't be me or you but it could happen so try not to stress about it. One of these days we'll get our flutters and kicks!!

same here.  I didn't start to really feel pregnant until a few weeks ago when my belly started to come in (around 24 weeks). But up until then, i looked forward to my doctors appointments because i kept thinking to myself "are they sure that there is a baby in there?" 
Don't stress! You're not alone! But everything is okay! 
ETA: i also didn't start to feel the "bubbles" that was the baby until after 20 weeks. Now at 29 weeks, i feel the baby kicking all the time. You'll get there! don't worry!

Re: Finishing my 16th week and just DON'T "feel pregnant"
I am right there with you. Aside from the cramps here and there and random symptoms that still come and go, I feel pretty normal. I have an appt on Monday and was actually nervous about it for the first time today. I can't wait for those kicks.
I'm still also confused by the pregnancy math. I thought I was finishing up my 16th week and will be 17 weeks on Sunday and I'm due 10/5. I see that you are due 10/13, but also finishing up your 16th week? I will never get the weeks/months thing.

Re: Finishing my 16th week and just DON'T "feel pregnant"
My first trimester I spent wondering when AF was going to show up! Until he became a Mexican Jumping bean I never felt pregnant all the time. I began feeling movement at about 16 weeks. But even that wasn't daily.
I think I felt myself slowing down this past week and that is what has really reminded me daily that I do have a little gift growing inside.
So, hang in there, it will get better!
