Obviously I know I am pregnant. They symptoms alone would have given that away! (Thanks morning sickness and oh so fun gas!) I have seen several US and have watch the baby move.... I am in my second tri, 15 weeks today and am showing slightly (although I feel like I just look fat not pregnant) and through all of this, while I am aware I am pregnant, I don't FEEL like it!
When did you start to really feel pregnant vs just knowing you are pregnant?

@MamaMoose: I agree! The flutters stage really amazed me. Now, his kicks make me jump. Yesterday, I was convinced I was going to see his foot come out of my vagina he was kicking so hard down there. No way to "forget" the pregnancy now! Lol.

i think i felt more pregnant with my 1st LO than with this one. probably because i have a 9 month old to keep up with!

@Mrs Hedgehog: Btw...I totally popped at 16 weeks. I went from "maybe she's just getting fat" to EVERYONE asking if I was pregnant. One of my students told me that I, "went from zero to pregnant in like a day."

I feel pregnant some days, when people notice my bump, or when I'm overwhelmed with nausea, cravings, or aches and pains. But I haven't gotten to the point where I feel pregnant daily. (Nearly 18 weeks)

When strangers started to regularly give up their seat for me on the subway!

I've started feeling like it in the last few days, actually.
I've been feeling movement for a few weeks and have had a good sized bump for a while but it still hadn't quite sunk in, not for real. But, for the last few days, I've been feeling a bit clumsy and cumbersome..... like, earlier today, I had a nice bath and I struggled to get up and out of it!! Now that makes you feel pregnant!! I'm 19 weeks.

Sometime around 20 weeks when I popped and felt kicks/movement.

Initially, after my first trimester when I started telling people beyond immediate family. Every time I said it and shared it, it became more real!

When I could feel movement! Around 16/17w the first time and regularly by 20w I think? But next time around, now that I've had a baby, I think it will be much quicker!! In retrospect, pregnancy feels like it went by fast. (It didn't at the time!)

In the beginning when I was exhausted and had MS, but 2nd tri i didn't ever really feel pregnant! Once movement kicked in I was more aware of it around 20 weeks, now I at 29 weeks I definitely feel pregnant and am starting to get the cumbersome feeling of trouble sleeping, sitting for long periods of time, sore hips, reflux...

Once DH and I were able to feel him move, and even better see him move in my belly, my pregnancy felt real to us. It also really clicked when people were extra nice to me, ie: carry my bags or give me their seat's. I work in a middle school and when I was 8 months pregnant I sat in a student's desk and got stuck in the desk. The classroom teacher asked me to never do that again, and said that he would always wheel me the "teachers" chair. It sure felt real (and embarrassing) at that point too!

17 weeks when I felt movement! After that was when I would have to heave myself off the couch/out of bed which took alot more effort then it did previously, and then when I got the awesome pregnancy waddle.

I have a few moments when I felt pregnant. Definitely around 17/18 weeks when I started to feel movement, then around 22 weeks when my bump became noticeable to strangers. Now at 32 weeks, I can't not feel pregnant, but it's almost over

Excited about really being pregnant when I felt her first kicks around 19 weeks! But feeling really pregnant around 35 weeks when I started getting really tired. Now at 39 1/2 weeks I feel SOOOO pregnant.

I think I started feeling pregnant when I popped & other people started noticing and commenting. I think that was around 18 weeks. Her flutters and kicks started shortly after, and that really helped!

It slowly grew on me. But when we had the anatomy scan and got pictures back from it I couldn't stop staring at them, then I got so excited to meet her.
I'm still really early in this pregnancy so even though I'm tired and a bit queasy, mentally I don't feel pregnant yet, I thought it might click sooner with #2 but nope.
