has being preggers sunk in yet?

[sonlou73]

i'm over 10 weeks pg, have had m/s for the last 9 weeks, have looked pg for the last 6 weeks (more like fat from other pg's!) BUT it hasn't really sunk in that i'm pg!

this pg seems different to pg #1 & #2. i'm just going about my busy day as usual with my boys, sometimes thinking maybe i shouldn't lift DS#2 as much, he is a boofa - 16kg & 20mths - but i soon forget & do it again & again.

i'm happy we're having another bub, maybe its the combined exhaustion & m/s - i never had with other pg's, plus i had mc in nov last year, so a bit scared.

i hope it'll sink in once 12 weeks are up & all is safe - bring it on :smiliedance:

I am now 12 weeks & it still hasn't sunk in for me. I completely forget that I am preggers all the time even though I already have quite an obvious belly that is starting to get in the way.

I have my scan on Friday, but I have already had 2 & they didn't make it seem any more real. I think it will sink in more after my next OB appointment in a few weeks when I will talk to her in more detail.

Nope :no:

Hope it kicks in soon.

nope..I kinda forget sometimes too and then when it pops into my head I wonder if I'm imagining it - the whole positive tests and scan and everything, but other times I have such a strong sense of the little bub growing inside me too. Looking forward to having a bump and in another 7 weeks or so feelings my bub kick.

Yeah it's fully sunk in for me :) Did right from the beginning. There's not a single moment I forget I'm pregnant! From the minute I wake up till the minute I go to sleep, even during the night I'll wake up and it will be the first thing on my mind.

Possibly it's partially because of the significant changes in my body - my boobs got MASSIVE really quickly, and I put on a fair amount of weight, now at 12 weeks I no longer have a waist (I was always proud of my waist :( ). First baby too so everyone around me constantly asks about it/ me, ensuring I never forget!

it is all i think about if i do think

the hs is that bad my whole life is revolving around drips, tablets, hospital visits, vomiting and feeling the worse i ever have in my life.

so yep it has sunk in 100%

It has sunk in for me , and especially after having the 12 week scan today, it was so amazing to see the babe and I realised today it is real, its in there and its gotta come out in 6 months! I feel like I can be excited about it more now, I have been very quiet about it until now, but after today and seeing my tiny bubba, it just freaked me out! I feel like maybe the m/s is getting a bit better, I haven't thrown up for a week now, just feel nauseous, so hopefully this is coming to an end.

Since I have been preganant and very sick with m/s I have found it so hard to exercise...is anyone else like me? I feel really lazy but I am only managing half hour walk 1-2 times a week....I have not had energy, is it just me?

Kind of... not sure. It was all like a dream until this week (I'm just over 9 weeks). A horrible dream in which I felt sick and desperately tired and alone and frightened. And this was all after deliberately getting pregnant! It wasn't unplanned. But this week I had the ultrasound and saw the baby so clear and active, with its little heart pounding away. And moving around like it was kicking and boxing! It was amazing...and I've started to believe. :-)

i haven't had a scan yet, i'm going to have a nuchal scan in less than 2 weeks - then i think it'll start to sink in.

[sonlou73]

its finally starting to sink in!!

today i had my first appointment with the clinic at the hospital and i had a scan to determine my dates (which i wasn't expecting - baby brain!) - very excited i got to see my little bubba :smiliedance:, moving around heaps in a ball - so not much to see! i get another look in 2 days when i have my nuchal scan.
