Karen,
I have to admit that I was surprised that in the first trimester I didn’t really "feel pregnant". Sure I experienced lots of pregnancy symptoms and morning sickness, but I felt more sick then "pregnant". I was happy (and a little nervous) about being pregnant and having a baby. I thought I would have some sort of emotional or physical difference about having a growing baby inside of me. I thought it would feel like there are two of us, instead of just me. To be honest I really didn’t feel "pregnant" in a was that I could sense the presence of another person. That’s not to say that I don’t recognize a growing fetus as a human being, because I do, but… My experience was just different than I thought it would be. I’ve had other women tell me that these feelings are normal.
Now that I am at the end of the second trimester I am beginning to have more of a sense of being pregnant. Seeing the baby for ultrasounds and feeling little movements gives more of a sense that this is real and that there is actually a person in there. Hope this helps.
Kate
