Nervous about feeling ‘normal’
Show your support
With my daughter I had that as well she was my first pregnancy. I didn't start showing untill I was 22 weeks before then if u didn't know I was pregnant u wouldn't kno it. And I didn't start feeling the little flutters untill 20 weeks. But if u want to put ur heart and mind at rest I would say book the private scan
Not my group but I was feeling the same at that stage, also felt baby so late around 22/24 weeks bc I had anterior placenta. You should have a midwife appointment at 16 weeks I remember they made me hear the heartbeat of baby and I felt so much better… It is normal second trimester is the one where you feel better physically so don’t worry you might start feeling baby any time soon he/she is still very small and your bump will come I remember I start showing after 20 weeks.
@Jenny at the 12 week scan they didn’t mention anything about my placenta so I’m presuming it’s not however I’m not actually sure! I feel okay and not had any signs to actually be concerned I just feel like going from horrible and bouncing back to your normal self feels very strange, I feel like I should feel more pregnant if that makes sense 🤣
It’s on the scan paper the position of the placenta usually it’s anterior or posterior also they told me at 20 weeks scan but honestly it’s still early to feel movements even if some women do so don’t worry.. also I remember at the beginning I was feeling baby just if I was laying down still… I feel like if you can ask your midwife to hear the heartbeat just to feel reassured
I was exactly like that and kept thinking ‘am I still pregnant’?! But the flutters came and hearing the heartbeat at midwife appointment was reassuring. You should get a report at 20 weeks scan that tells you where your placenta is. You are not alone in your feelings x
This is my second pregnancy (20 weeks today) and I feel absolutely normal. I forget I am pregnant most days! Can still do everything I was doing before! Also hardly showing so it's hard to remember sometimes. Can feel him in the evenings so I know he's there! I was the same with my daughter and only really showed at third trimester. Xx
I’m feeling the same, nipples aren’t as sore, I’m not as hungry. Have my 20 week scan on Thursday can’t wait. I am out off private scans now as even if something was off they can’t do anything there so I feel much better waiting for the hospital scans now.
I definitely had the same feelings! This is my first pregnancy also! My advice is to trust your body as it knows what to do and I try remember that everything is fine unless someone tells me otherwise. I’m 28 weeks now and only just starting to look properly pregnant. Have you got an anterior placenta? I know they say you don’t feel movement as much
