I don't know if it's because I'm chasing after a toddler, but sometimes I forget I have a baby in my belly!
-
I'm only 5 weeks along, so its still a new idea for me. A couple days ago I woke up from a pregnancy dream and was like "oh yeah, I'm really pregnant!" It was such a nice change from when I'd wake up after having a pregnancy dream when we were TTC and I'd be bummed.
-
YES, people tell me "Congratulations" all the time and I have to pause and say "...for what? OHHH!! thanks!!" haha. I'm way too distracted even though I'm constantly in pain!!!
-
On multiple occasions!
My favorite was on a "I feel pretty" day. I was about 6 1/2 months pregnant, had gotten a cute outfit, & my face was ACTUALLY clear (something I battled my whole pregnancy). I was getting out of my car & actually felt pretty sexy, like I felt/looked pre pregnancy ... Then I saw my belly in the car window reflection & remembered I was ALOT bigger than I had just felt. Lol
Some of my other favorite times were when DH & I were having "Funtime"... I'd totally forget & then try and reposition & suddenly remember "oh crap I can't move like that" lol
-
Never. Ha!
-
All the time!
It's not easy to forget now that this belly is in full force growth mode, but there were def moments throughout end of 1st trim and beg of 2nd trim that I would forget... and DH would have to remind to take it easy with working outdoors, etc.
-
I forgot a lot when I was in my 1st trimester because I was so busy! But after that...never!
-
I really don’t and I didn’t even in my first tri! I think it’s because we were so high risk and on injections. I had to look for a bunch of warning signs and I was constantly worrying. By the time that settled down I had a growing belly and now I’m feeling him so there isn’t much opportunity to forget
-
One time I did forget for a split second and almost went for some wine and then remembered I wasn't allowed to drink it. Other than that, I think about the baby daily. I also worry a lot, so that makes me not forget.
-
Not lately but in the beginning I would sometimes forget, when at a restaurant and ordering food and what not then I would snap back in and be like crap I can't have that!
-
I always do! Not so much anymore, but during the 1st-2nd tris, I always forgot.
-
Not yet...
-
Yeah, I'd try to squeeze through a tight space and get stuck because of my belly.
-
Totally! This morning, I was in the elevator on my way to work and I looked in the mirror on the wall and realized I was huge! For a quick second, I totally forgot I was pregnant. I always forgot when I was in my early 2nd trimester too. Maybe cuz I was busy chasing around a toddler.
-
Hahaha I actually forgot a few weeks ago while reading a book and the main character mentioned being late for her period... I had a momentary freak out and asked DH when my last period was - it was Thanksgiving because I'm 7.5 months pregnant! lmao we got a good laugh out of it though.
I still chuckle when I think about it because I'm so hugely pregnant right now that I can't believe I forgot, even for a second!
-
I had that feeling up until this week, but have been feeling extra pregnant for a few days! I wound up getting sick over the weekend (either food poisoning or virus) and still have a severe stomach pain, right underneath my breastbone. Part of me thinks that in addition to having been sick, I am also growing and this feeling (almost like a constant "fullness") is here to stay.
-
Occasionally I'll be feeling really, really good and forget for just a few minutes but then I do something (like try to squeeze into a tight space or bend over to get something) and remember I'm pregnant. Those times are getting fewer and fewer though since I'm 34 weeks tomorrow.
-
I forgot ALL THE TIME with DS! I just didn't have the same time/energy to put into the second pregnancy.
-
Yes, I totally forget and I'm 29 weeks along! I'll just be doing my regular thing and then I'll try to fit between things (like squeeze past someone in the grocery aisle) and realize that I'm not skinny anymore!
-
Well I am going on about 10 weeks only. So, so far I do at times yes. Stillllll sinking in even though I have obviously known for some time. Haha!
-
when i first found out, it was on my mind ALL the time, now i have moments where i am less aware of it.
i did have a bad dream the other night where i forgot i was pregnant and i was at a house party and i had like 2 - 3 alcoholic drinks! the morning after (in the dream still), i realized what i did and was consumed with guilt for possibly hurting my little boy. And of course the dream was so vivid and real that when i actually woke up, i still felt guilty and had to figure out why and then realize it didn't happen!
-
yep, i'm at 11w and i forget all the time!
-
yes, especially since i don't look pregnant at all if i am seated at a table. i'll stand up and people are like WHOA, where did that come from!?
-
Nope, not a chance. I have felt crappy since day one so I've always remembered.
-
Yeah! It is hard to remember when you are already so busy with a toddler. It also isn't so new the second time around so I just don't think about it as much.
It's not easy to forget now that this belly is in full force growth mode, but there were def moments throughout end of 1st trim and beg of 2nd trim that I would forget... and DH would have to remind to take it easy with working outdoors, etc.
