Hi. Please don’t judge, it’s partly cos I’m autistic and one of my autistic quirks is that I don’t like being touched and I am hyper aware of senses or anything that involves feeling things, including my baby inside me belly.

I feel really bad about this because as a mother I feel I am supposed to enjoy having a baby in me and all the movements. Instead I often find myself telling my baby to leave me alone and stop poking me. I don’t mean it in a nasty way and I love the fact I’m a mum with a growing gift from god.

What I would like to know is that, am I the only one who feels this way? Or do other people not enjoy feeling their baby inside them move. How do you deal with it that you don’t get annoyed to the point it pisses you off?

Thanks for listening and not judging me, I don’t chose to be this way, I just am
