Brenda,

Happy Birthday!

I remember getting very nervous on days when I didn't "feel pregnant", too. I agree with Jenn. I have had friends who never felt any of the typical pregnancy symptoms. I remember poking myself in the boobs (okay...that sounds funny) every morning to see if they still hurt...sometimes they didn't and I would panic. I'm 38 1/2 weeks, so obviously those days were nothing to worry about. Good luck and try to relax...I know it isn't easy.
