I remember feeling like that last summer. Was so happy that the nausea was over, but aside from the growing boobs and bloated belly, i didn't feel pregnant... it didn't hit til closer to third trimester!

I still feel horrendous at 14w6d but I'm definitely ready to have a big ole bump and to feel movement!

Another anterior placenta here. That early part of the second trimester was tough since I really couldn't feel him move consistently until almost 20 weeks. I think I dosed up on sugary things to get him to kick to know that he was okay.

Yeah, I haven't really felt this pregnancy was real until the last couple weeks. At 22 weeks I'm finally feel the baby a lot and I look pregnant to strangers. I remember being amazed at my 18 week ultrasound, watching the baby move around because it was so unreal that he was actually in me.

@Vegmama: Nope, I've been able to find it consistently since 10 weeks. A couple of times here and there it took a bit longer. I know some people are scared of that and that's why they don't get one, but its never been an issue for me.

I didn't feel my DD until 24ish weeks, but she was wreaking havoc on my pelvic bone long before that so I always knew she was in there messing with me! lol!

@Vegmama: aww. i'm really early in my pregnancy so it's been interesting catching up on this thread. are you not loving this stage because you still don't feel preggers, both on the inside and outside? one of my dear gfs who recently had a baby also felt the same. her belly did not grow much at all throughout pregnancy and her son was really still inside her belly with little movement overall. he was born perfectly healthy though - he's just a little more chill and calm than other babies. i really feel it's a personality thing. he's not a crier or fussy at all, but very alert, serious & stoic. so adorable.
sending you good vibes!!

@Vegmama: It was hard for me to love that time too- I was just so worried when I couldn't feel anything consistently, and I just looked fat, not pregnant. Give it a month, things will be better with a noticeable bump and consistent kicks. Easier said than done, I know!

@Vegmama: reviving this thread because I feel the same way. Feeling better and will be 14 weeks tomorrow. But now I have no symptoms! So I"m just hanging out assuming everything is fine until my appt in one week. Such an odd time!

@Mrs. Champagne: @Amelieisme: I'm right there with you guys! I'm 17+2 and people keep on asking how the baby is... Fine, I guess? I'm right in between midwife visits, not very big in the bump (although it's slowly growing) and feel little flutters only occasionally. I assume everything is fine?
As much. As I know it will get more uncomfortable, part of me can't wait for that third trimester obvious pregnant state!
