When does it feel “real”?

Question

First time mom, 10w2d. When does it start feeling “real” that you’re pregnant and going to have a baby? It’s not that I forget (I am constantly nauseous/exhausted) but I can almost pretend I just have the flu or something. I’m excited but also it doesn’t seem like it’s actually happening yet. When did ya’ll finally get the “omg I’m pregnant / my life is changing forever / etc” thoughts and feelings? 
Am I just behind on everything?

Answer

I gave birth and it still didn’t feel real lol once we were home it finally hit me like “oh my gosh I’m a mother”

Answer

When you start feeling baby move constantly it really feels real then.

Answer

Aww honestly.. I thought that moment would come but it really didn’t until my son was in my arms! I’m now pregnant again but with a girl, 11w3d and it doesn’t feel real yet! Maybe it felt a little more real after we saw our son on a 3D ultrasound but for me personally, it didn’t feel completely real until I was holding him 🥹

Answer

When I was pregnant with my son it didn’t start feeling real until I was about 12-13 weeks (that’s when I started showing a little). Like the minute my belly started rounding it was just 🥹 congratulations momma. It’s gonna start feeling real, real soon ❤️

Answer

With my first, I kind of immediately got the feeling but with my current pregnancy it wasn’t until he started moving around & I felt consistent kicking daily.

Answer

With my daughter, it didn’t feel real until I could feel her. With my current pregnancy(12 weeks, currently) it still doesn’t feel real, & I don’t think it will until I can feel this baby.

Answer

I don’t have any connection when I’m pregnant. Once I’m in the hospital with a baby it feels real

Answer

When I took my baby home 🥰
