Normal? Any advice?

Question

Is anyone else having a hard time accepting/connecting with being pregnant? I know this may sound bad, but it all still seems so surreal. Does anyone have any advice to help with this? I've heard some people say shopping for baby things helps you get into the pregnancy/motherly spirit.

Answer

I feel the same. But I'm having issues with the babies father, I found out I got cheated on right before I found out I was pregnant. All sorts of emotions, due to our relationship or not, can make this happen. Sounds like you need more people around to be excited, it's contagious when people are so happy for you.

Answer

How far are you? I had the same feelings especially since it was TOTALLY unplanned. I got the implant in my arm and the SAME week I got pregnant. Lol. When I had my first ultrasound at 14 weeks and she waved at me is when I started to come to terms with the fact. Then when it was confirmed at 19 weeks that it was a girl and we told all family and everything, it really set in. I say just give it time. :)

Answer

I was like that with my first and I'm still like that. Once he's in my arms it'll be instant love. Until then I feel like it's too good to be true. I can shop and prepare but until he's here breathing and healthy it's just surreal.

Answer

I was like this for my first. Until I met him it didn't sink in. I actually did the whole nursery after when I knew what his personality was. You are not alone. My second I knew who she was based on her movements. The third, disconnect again. It was so weird.

Answer

I'm just super glad someone posted this. I felt like I was the only one because most people on here are so ecstatic about their pregnancy, rightfully so. Thought maybe there was something wrong with me. Good to know things will change once the little one gets here.
