Where is the love? ❤️

I’m 8 weeks pregnant and just had my first ultrasound. I’ve seen women post on here about how they have their first ultrasound and they are so in love with their baby. I honestly did not have this experience.

Don’t get me wrong, we’ve been struggling with trying to start a family for going on 3 years. I think I had almost accepted that it just wasn’t going to happen. But finally it did. We are very happy, but between worry that something will go wrong, being terrified of being a terrible parent, experiencing some symptoms of depression and tons of pregnancy symptoms that are leaving me feeling miserable most of everyday, I’m having a hard time getting excited.

Anyone been there? Did you feel that love for your child as soon as you saw the ultrasound or did it take some time?

I feel a little like a sociopath for even mentioning it but honestly I’m hoping I’m not alone.
