When did it sink in?

I know they say there are feelings of "Am I really pregnant?" in the first tri....... However...... since I'm having all this horrible bleeding from the SCH, it makes that feeling even stronger because I feel like I have AF!! The only moments in the day I really acknowledge the fact that I'm pregnant is when I wake up nauseated.......

So, when did it finally start to sink in? With my last pregnancy, I wanna say it was 12wks. I feel like that's how long it's going to take this time too. I strongly remember laying for the ultrascreen and seeing the baby looking so much more like a person. To me, that's when it really started to feel real. Right now, my babies are dots!!

The day I had my cs. Then it was really real. I didnt think of it too much, I mean I knew it was real when i showed and felt him, but until that cs morning i was really there. Hope that makes some kind of sense

Seeing the heartbeat at 7w was a relief but seeing the baby kicking and moving at 11w REALLY made it real

When I saw the heartbeat for the first time I was relieved. Every single sonogram where I see her is a feeling of relief even more..
but actually saying omg im pregnant and this is happening and i'm going to have a little girl sunk in for me yesterday at my baby shower!

Re: When did it sink in?

i have my moments where it's sunk in, and those where i forget i'm pregnant. it's sunk in when i get up every 20 minutes to pee. when ppl congratulate me and tell me i look great (or fat). when i go to bend or do some sort of movement and can't quite do it like i used to. when i knock into walls.
oh, and when i forget sh!t. lol.
other times i don't even think about it.

I'm 37 weeks - and I think it's just sunk in today when my OB gave me the date of induction (in the event that doesn't come sooner - which we hope he will).

I still wake up every morning with a certain sense of surprise that the belly is still there - and he's jumping like crazy!

Re: When did it sink in?

after my level 2 at 20 weeks. first i realized OMG i can breathe, i will probably get to go home with a baby after all of this. and then about 5 seconds later it was more like omg i'm going to have a baby and i have no idea what to do and im so unprepared

ive been stuck in the latter ever since

Re: When did it sink in?

I'm not sure it has sunk in yet for me. I'm about 25 weeks and sometimes I completely forget I'm pregnant! Then I feel something move and wonder what the heck it was and then reality strikes, like duh... it's your baby! lol.

Even when I see the sonos, I still feel like I'm just watching a video.

I wonder if it will sink in when we have the baby's room ready, at the shower or when we're actually holding .

Re: When did it sink in?

Im 22 weeks and it really hasn't yet. I thought it would when I found out the sex but no. Then I though "well maybe once I start to feel him moving", nope....hopefully soon.

Re: When did it sink in?

at 13 weeks, i'm still waiting for it.. but i do get I'm pregnant when I can't eat the stuff I want to eat.. but I'm waiting for the "I'm going to be a mommy" brick to hit me..

Re: When did it sink in?

to be honest with you, it didnt really hit me until I gave birth to DS, I guess I couldn't believe it until I had the baby in my arms.

Enjoy your pregnancy, I'm so thrilled that you have 3 little miracles in ur belly

Re: When did it sink in?

At 17wks, it hasn't really sunk in yet. And other than the Pam Anderson boobs, I dont really look pregnant either so I think thats part of it.

Re: When did it sink in?

28 weeks with my second and it STILL has not sunk in! With DD, I think it really only sunk in when I was actually at the hospital to give birth and I was like, oh wow, this is really really happening! lol!
