Did anyone/Does anyone not 'feel' pregnant~I am in my fourth month...

...and I just don't feel pregnant. Not one bit. Expect for this horrible cold, I feel totally normal. It's scary, and I would rather feel crappy that nothing at all. It took a very long time for me to even get pregnant, and I can not even imagine losing this one to have to wait to try again.

For my PG, I rented a doppler for me to use at my house. I was too paranoid something bad was going to happen. I absolutely loved it! Some people said it might upset me more if you can't find the heartbeat, but when that happened I just relaxed and tried again. I loved hearing it at home. It let me know that the baby was ok! I listened to it before work after work, and before bed. I took advantage of it! I'm sure everything is fine. If you're that worried, go to the doc! They don't mind!

Awww, don't worry - your in your 4th month - you will start to feel some movement soon. I think its great that you havent had the horrible morning sickness, believe me, that is a blessing!! When is your next Dr's appointment?
Don't stress about not feeling pregnant because very soon you will.

I often feel like this. I am 19.5 weeks and often don't feel pregnant. I have gained some weight (but not showing too much yet), been naseous and felt like crap, feel crampy and am starting to feel little feelings in my belly but yet I don't feel pregnant. People talk to me about the baby all the time and I am working on picking baby stuff but yet still forget or dont feel pregnant. I can't wait for my next u/s - it's the big one - because I am hoping for that to make it feel more real. I had a dr appt last night and heard the heartbeat again and that mades me feel good. When is your next appt - maybe hearing the heartbeat will make you feel more confident.

I am 22 weeks and have not felt pregnant at all this entire pregnancy. I used to say the same thing...I would rather feel crappy because it is scary. But my little girl is moving all around and everything is going great so far. I guess we should be happy for feeling so well

I felt the same way. I was scard because I felt great, wasn't showing yet and didn't feel the baby yet. But once you feels those kicks, which you will soon, it will calm your nerves.

I thought you bought that heartbeat monitor thing last week and could hear the heartbeat.

Me too, I am 14 weeks and can't wait to get a belly and start to feel the baby move. Although, I did have a lot of nausea I still didn't feel pregnant. Maybe once the maternity clothes are needed and the baby starts moving around alot we will feel more preggo.

I didn't really feel pregnant until we had a sonogram at 16 weeks and seeing is believing!

Yes, I remember feeling the same way...it's completely normal. Now I am 38 weeks and have some days where I *wish* I could feel like that again!! The 2nd trimester is the easiest so enjoy it. This getting to the end gets rougher and rougher EVERY DAY.

Pretty much started getting nausea around 6th/7th week and it lasted until close to the 15th week. Although it did get lessen around the 12/13th week. I never actually vomitted but basically felt like I could get sick at any minute of anyday..not just in the morning. Some days were better than others - it was like a bad hangover for many many weeks!! Sometimes I would wish to vomit in hopes it would relieve the ill feeling....But pretty much all gone now.....Hopefully you won't get it - not everyone does!

You girls are so lucky that haven't felt nauseous! If you ever had a bad bad hangover or been sea sick, it's like feeling that all day long. Ugh. I'm hoping mine will end soon although I'll only be ten weeks on Monday so I'm sure I have more time with this.
I'm proud to say (or it may be pathetic) that I haven't missed a day of work or been late - to the other girls that have been getting nauseous, have you taken days to just stay in bed? I think I have to do it soon although my boss is a BIG JERK! I actually had to tell him at 6 weeks because he said my performance was really starting to go down hill since my wedding - well yeah that happens when you are running to the bathroom throwing up every hour! Thanks for letting me vent....
