Aren’t I supposed to “feel” pregnant?

Question

Hello ladies, I’ve been TTC for about 3 cycles now and I’ve never been pregnant before so this will be #1 for me.
I’m 8 DPO today, and I have a question. 
Should I be feeling something by now? Like if I were pregnant wouldn’t I just know? I have no idea what “feeling pregnant” feels like, but I honestly feel pretty normal. I haven’t had any spotting or anything. Does this mean I’m already out this month? 
I hear so many stories about women who just knew they were pregnant and who felt pregnant and I’m nervous because I don’t feel anything 😕😕😕

Answer

I didn’t have any clue I was pregnant until after I got my positive. I never had a “wow I think I’m pregnant moment.” My boobs hurt but they hurt before my period starts so I didn’t think anything of it. I went out drinking on a Friday night when my period was due, was hungover on Saturday and still felt hungover on Sunday which was weird. I just thought I was still hungover. But nope. Tested Sunday night and it was positive. I didn’t start getting pregnancy symptoms like nausea and fatigue for about a week after. And even while throwing up and experiencing full blown symptoms i still didn’t “feel pregnant.” I don’t think I really felt pregnant until like 16-20 weeks when my bump popped and I started feeling my baby move inside me.

Answer

First pregnancy didn’t find out til i was almost 8 weeks pregnant, i have irregular periods usually. Felt normal and  was only reason i rested was cause my cousin told me to because she said my boobs looked bigger to her. And to my surprise i was prego🤷🏽‍♀️. My second the only reason i knew i was pregnant was because my husband asked me what i wanted to eat and i randomly started crying😂 which happened during my second trimester with my first and went to the doctors and again was about 7-8 weeks. So nope you can feel completely nothing and be prego. Oh yeah my mom was 12 weeks when she found out about my brother🤦🏽‍♀️ she was on BC and felt nothing.

Answer

Nope. I had no symptoms with 2 pregnancies.  Never felt pregnant.  Just belly grew

Answer

I didnt know until I was 5 days late and realized i was late i took a test and it was super positive. The thing i had was cramps that felt like my period was gonna start but it never did.

Answer

There were only ever two indications for me. I’ve been pregnant three times and have had one live birth.
My first pregnancy (my son) my period was late, my period was NEVER late. 
Then with the other two (both miscarries in the last 5 months) my attitude was a dead giveaway. I’m usually extremely rational but man you would’ve thought I had some invisibility spell on the horns growing out of my forehead 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

Not necessarily. For me, I did have a feeling of “oh I’m pregnant” for both of my babies. But my sister never felt that with any of her four, she didn’t know until the year said so
