38 weeks......is it possible to still be indenial?

Question

I have moments when i feel like i will be pregnant forever because i can't see myself having a baby and going through labour. I know she has to come out eventually and i want her to but i dont see me with a baby afterwards or at least not one that is here 24/7. Almost like i give her back.

It all feels a bit surreal like it's happening to someone else and not me

I never really wanted kids or saw myself with kids so maybe i am still struggling with that.

Don't get me wrong i love my little girl to bits and can't wait to meet her but like i said i will be giving her back

Answer

I feel the same ....except for the part about never wanting kids I always wanted at least one but I never thought it would happen for me. I always felt I wasn't good enough to have kids ...i guess that's some deep down psychological thing that I'll deal with one day,  but everything else you said I feel the same way. I can't see myself going through labor and bringing a baby home that I get to keep you know what I'm saying... it's so like immature and childish to think but it's just such a blessing that I just can't believe it's happening to me ....really weird but we're just super lucky and very blessed. so just  know you're not the only one that feels that way

Answer

Definitely in the same boat. 
Yes it'll slap me in the face when she's here, but I still see myself in denial about her being mine forever. Even when shell be 5. Like how in the world could my body create a human being. Seems impossible to be even though I'm doing it this very moment. 
Im even having contractions and I try to deny that they're contractions ! Not because I don't want them, but more so that I literally see it as impossible for me to give birth. I don't know why I think like this. But I'm sure it has to do with the anticipation and anyone who deems it as not normal is wrong. Its completely normal and even to be expected, especially for ftm. You'll be an amazing mother, and I wish you the best and safest delivery possible..because whether or not we can accept it, its bound to happen ahaha

Answer

I feel the same way, it's almost like it just hasent hit me yet. Sometimes I'm like so ready for her to be here, and then others I'm like freaking out wondering if maybe I could push it back a few more weeks. Haha i think it may just be the hormones too, but all in all, it'll work out and once they get here it'll be great! I'm 36 weeks :)

Answer

At 38 weeks you have to kind of deal with reality that the baby is coming and for you very soon.

Answer

Well definitely going to be a wake up call when baby comes then.
