Not feeling pregnant at all!?!

[mama2ashlynn]

Hey mamas.
Anyone else feel this way? I am 5 weeks 1 day today and I still dont *feel* pregnant at all! I am just a bit more tired that's it. But that doesnt make me feel pregnant ya know? Just wondering if I am the only one feeling this way???

Somedays I don't feel pg either. Today is one of those days. Just a bit tired and sore bb's but that is it. I am due a day before u.

My only symptom is nipple pain when DS latches on to nurse. I don't really "feel pregnant" yet either, even though I "knew" I was 1-2 days after I ovulated. I think I will be reassured when I start to feel a little nauseous. I am only 3.5 weeks pregnant/12dpo. (It's so WEIRD in very early pregnancy to count those two weeks prior to ovulation, but it doesn't seem weird the further along you get). I'm trying to decide whether to have a blood test done or not...I did with my last pregnancy, but it seems like a waste of $20 (co-pay), when HPTs are supposedly so accurate.

I have been *freaking* out for the last week, too, because I did not, and do not, feel pregnant (just the slightest bit of nausea), but I just got the good news that my hcg level is doubling (even though it's low), so my doctor said there is no cause for concern.

So, I guess we should just enjoy this time of "not feeling" pregnant!

Me too!

My symptoms are pretty mild, too. I'm a little thirsty, a little hungry, my boobs are a little sore, I fall asleep easier at night, and I'm a little more constipated that usual. If I didn't KNOW I was pregnant, I probably wouldn't suspect it at all (well, except for the missing period-I've NEVER EVER missed one in my 19+ years of menstruation-weird). But I think this is totally normal for some women.

I'm sure it would be reassuring to feel more preggo, but I am feeling grateful for every day that I'm not retching, exhausted, or an emotional wreck, because I know women who have had to contend with this in early pregnancy. And it could still happen any day now!

Well, we weren't supposed to be ABLE to get pregnant again (a surgeon accidentally hit a nerve in dh's abdomen 2.5 years ago and rendered him infertile. They said that if it didn't come back in a year, we were SOL...it didn't come back, apparently until now!), but I started to suspect right away (within a couple of days of ovulation), because it was agony for ds to latch on in the am. Then my nipples started to get darker...and I started to feel a TINY bit OCD, as I'd check them every two hours or so to see if they were REALLY getting darker...finally I had my mom look yesterday. She gave a definate yes. Then I gagged when I smelled dh's cologne (I love dh's cologne). And then last night I fell asleep at nine thirty when I usually go to bed at midnight. I took a test this am. Faint, faint line, but it's there. Very surreal for us right now! Haven't told anybody yet (okay, now you mamas are somebody!). Kinda holding on to it for a couple of days, then we'll shout it from the rooftops!

For me its a day by day thing. Some days I am so tired I can barely move. Yesterday was like that.. Today I have a lot more energy and I don't really feel pregnant.. I have to say that I kinda wish I felt worse just so that being pregnant would seem more real.. But I know, be careful what you ask for

My energy levels are swinging between totally fatigued and fairly energized pretty much throughout the day. I'm awake in the morning and stable through lunch. I start to get tired in the afternoon and after dinner I'm exhausted and fall asleep instantly. Other things that make me feel pregnant: peeing all the time, feeling abnormally hungry and thirsty, sore/big boobs, little bouts of nausea here and there (mostly when I need to eat something).

Not feeling much here either, bit tired, but who isnt chasing a toddler around??

I want to feel something - (I could be kicking myself for this later!!)

I totally know what you mean. I've been having mild nausea/queziness, but no puking. I feel like if I were "really" pregnant, I'd be puking my guts out. (Apparently I'm forgetting about the six BFPs I got....obsessed much? Nah...) My nipples seem a little tender today, but it might be just wishful thinking. I am noticing a definate sensitivity to smells; a couple foods I normally love I just can't handle because of the smell. (The strangest one, though? A sugar free fudge bar. The smell made me gag. I threw it out.) And I think I might be a bit more tired, but as someone else said, if I weren't LOOKING for things, I probably wouldn't even notice it.

And NOW my latest thing is freaking out about all the things that could go wrong. Will I miscarry? I work in a bar; is the second hand smoke doing horrible things to my kid? I had some drinks the week before I knew I was pregnant--did I do some horrible damage? What if I just have a horribly deformed, disabled child? (And then I feel bad for thinking that. But it's true. I want a normal baby. And then I start to worry that I'm going to be a bad mom because I think that way.)

I think I need to learn to breathe.

I'm in the same boat as well. I am 5 weeks 3 days and the only thing I feel is more tired. No nausea, no sore bb's. Well, tired and a hungrier. My doctor assured me that everything was fine and my levels look great. I was worried considering that I stayed sick with ds for the first 4 months. But it's like they say, every pregnancy is different.

Good luck to you all!!
