Is it normal to still not feel pregnant at 16 weeks?

Hi, so I've had very few symptoms apart from tiredness. My scan at 12 weeks was fine, I'm getting a nice little bump & my boobs are covered in veins. I'm getting round ligament pain every so often but otherwise I feel perfectly non pregnant to the point I sometimes kinda forget. I've had previous miscarriages so maybe I'm blocking it out or do others really feel the same & feel so normal at 16 weeks? X

Hello, I'd say it's totally normal. I didn't have any symptoms at all up until 6 months and even then the symptoms were pretty tame. Maybe just count yourself lucky and enjoy it xx

I think you’re just going to be one of the lucky ones, like my bff. Two pregnancies and no symptoms at all, the whole nine months. Enjoy xx

It’s definitely normal. I went through my whole pregnancy with hardly any symptoms at all that it was easy to forget that i was pregnant. Plus your supposed to feel fairly normal in the second trimester.

Enjoy it while you can xx

I think the boobs and the bump are telling you that you are pregnant most of the symptoms aren't great so hopefully you will feel baby move in the next couple of weeks and it will feel real to you best of luck for a lovely pregnancy x

You’ve got symptoms! Those are what being pregnant feels like for many people. It’s ok to forget sometimes as long as you don’t then do something silly like lifting a massive heavy item. Try to enjoy if you can... I’m trying my best to enjoy despite feeling like absolute cr*p most of the time- I’m also sixteen weeks and believe me, nausea and vomiting do not enhance pregnancy!

Not what you're looking for?
