Why this doesn't feel real...

Question

I'm 13 weeks, I've seen my baby on the ultrasound. I've been told it's a boy and so far he's as healthy as a bug in a rug. Could anyone tell me why it just still doesn't feel real to me? I love my baby but since I can't feel him yet and can't see my belly, I just feel almost empty. Like my dr appointments are the only thing that are convincing me otherwise that this really is real and is not a dream.  I don't know if that makes sense to anybody, It's a very hard feeling to describe . Anybody else know what I'm talking about?

Answer

I will be 13 weeks tomorrow! Have seen my jellybean in our ultrasound and heard the heart beat but it still doesn't seem real at times. I don't have much of a baby bump yet and don't have many symptoms so it makes it seem like it's all just in my head at times! Lol. Can't wait to feel it move!

Answer

Things will change once you can feel him. It'll be here in no time:)

Answer

I can relate!

Answer

Other than my sickness (which has been coming and going since 12 weeks), I feel the same. I'm afraid it has to do with my mental health (I don't do well with big life changes, and it's feeling kinda like how I get with that kind of stuff), but I know here in a couple more weeks I'll be feeling good the baby and know she's in there!

Answer

Be glad you aren't reminded you are having a baby by throwing up your guts multiple times a day. Lol!!

Answer

I already have a little girl but this is how I feel with this pregnancy. I think once I feel the little one moving around it'll get more real.

Answer

I know what you mean. Mine doesn't feel real for a different reason. Two missed miscarriages last year so I'm trying not to get attached to this pregnancy. Although I am farther along than I was the last two times I still don't wanna believe it's real until I know my baby is 100% okay.

Answer

If i wasnt sick and feeling awful i dont think id know either :( i understand how you feel

Answer

Yes! I'm 12 weeks and I've had an ultrasound and got to hear the heartbeat and he or she is very healthy but I just don't feel pregnant. I just feel fat at this point haha and like I had a bad case of the flu lol it'll happen for us eventually! Once we feel that baby move :)
