Feeling normal....

OK. It's been about 2 weeks since I last saw the Dr, and usually around this time I start to freak out and worry something is wrong. Why? No clue. Well-yeah I know why-because I feel totally fine. Normal. Like I am not even pregnant. I know what you are all probably thinking-be THANKFUL! Which I of course am. However-I just can't but worry!

The only consistent symptom I have had is burping(and getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom). I will be 17 weeks tomorrow. I don't think I am really showing-but after having twins I still look pregnant from THEM! So if I wore maternity shirts then yes-I look pregnant. The upper part of my stomach has somewhat stiffened/hardened, but the rest is a jiggly blob(sorry if that's TMI! ). I haven't really felt the baby move period. Flutters, nothing. I thought I did at 11/12 weeks, but now I am not so sure. I did feel the boys flutters around 17 weeks.

I go to the OB next Thursday and have an u/s next Friday. At my last OB visit at 13 weeks, the h/b was 156. So things were great. My friend does u/s's, so we might make a visit to her on Saturday which will hopefully make me feel fine again!

So-anyone else feel TOTALLY NORMAL?!??!!?!!?!?!?!?!? It drives me batty!!!

FWIW-I was the SAME way with the boys. And-felt totally fine as well. I think a problem may be my last memory of them inside me they were moving like crazy..and that just hasn't happened yet. Maybe?

 

I always stress when the morning sickness subsides, LOL. And I posted here about how I'd thought I'd felt flutters, but then it was a few weeks and I was totally stressing but finally started feeling the baby again. That wasn't very long ago. I'm 21 weeks something right now, so I was just where you are, feeling the exact same way a month ago. If you can, the u/s sounds like a great way to ease your mind. Otherwise, maybe try to be happy to be in the 2nd trimester, with energy, no sickness and still having clothes that fit!!!

 

I understand the feeling that last time you felt pregnant they wouldnt stop moving but when I wasnt having alot of feelings of movement in this pregnancy I just thought there probably is just a lot more space in there than my first baby had I think its weird too when you can see the baby doing sommersaults on the ultrasound but you cant feel anything. Just try to enjoy this time while you feel normal! I am 30 weeks this week and I forget what normal feels like :unsure: .

 

I always kept an extra pregnancy test on hand for those times when I didn't feel pregnant. :hug:

 

When I was pregnant with the twins I woke up one morning and felt SO good I started crying because I thought something was wrong .. I was never SO relieved when after I ate I had to run to the bathroom !

It is weird! I asked my OB about that when I was pregnant w/ the girls she said that it is because the inside of your uterus has no feeling, she said that until the baby is able to kick hard enough to make the nerves on the outside of the uterus react - you won't feel anything!

I thought I was the only one!

I remember being worried to death that something was so wrong all because I felt normal!! pregnancy is one of the greatest thing but boy is it full of worry!! I just tried to think that if something had gone so wrong - I would probably have some other symptom and not feel totally normal!

 

I know exactly what you mean! There was a at least a few weeks between the end of morning sickness, and me feeling baby movements, when it just felt so weird to not feel bad or anything! Don't worry, it won't last
