Can’t accept my pregnancy?

Question

I feel like I still don’t believe I’m pregnant, had around 5 scans and been listening to the baby’s heartbeat on my Doppler. But I can’t seem to accept I’m pregnant? All my friends are saying the from the start knew what gender they were having for example but I don’t feel that? Is this normal? Or should I go speak to a doctor? 
I feel so nervous that it won’t hit me till last minute. Sorry this is really long and replies would be appreciated x

Answer

I feel this, like a lot . Obviously I know I’m pregnant, I feel pregnant (lots of symptoms, really every symptom 😫) but nothing is tangible. Once I can see the baby in front of my face, smell them, feel them I think all that will change. I’m sure it may even start to change once I can feel the baby kick too.

Answer

I feel the same way. I have not had any symptoms other than fatigue and acne, so I don’t feel pregnant at all. I also feel like a terrible mother because I don’t feel connected with the baby (please no judgment, I’m really struggling with this.) I’m hoping once I know the gender, start showing, feeling the baby and getting baby stuff ready that I will believe it more and then I can get excited.

Breathe mama ♥️these are ALL normal feelings!! With my first, it was a unique circumstance but I didn’t accept my pregnancy literally until I had my son, I wasn’t resentful, I was more indifferent than anything. But when he was born, holy freaking moly, the LOVE. It’s HUGE. Just try to take care of yourself and take steps to accept the pregnancy, the connection will come when it comes, it may be when you start feeling babe move or when you meet him/her. But not to worry, many mamas struggle with these feelings.

Answer

I have a similar struggle. I have had a very easy pregnancy so far with few symptoms, except bigger boobs (aw hell yes!). It’s just so hard for me to believe that there really is a baby in there! I’m 13 weeks and still no tummy, not even any bloat, so it’s really hard to believe that things are happening. Despite two ultrasounds showing a beautiful bubba!
I think that when my tummy grows, and especially once I start feeling movement, it will become more real.
I’m sure you’re not alone and this is totally natural. At the very least, when you hold that little squirmy bundle of love in your arms I hear the bond is instant 😍

Answer

That’s so normal. With my son I don’t think I ever really accepted I was pregnant, never felt connected or anything. But the moment he was born everything changed and that little boy is my world. Now with baby number two I don’t really feel connect per say but I’m okay with that because I know once they are born it won’t be like that.
