Surreal Feeling

Maggie

Moms...when does the surreal feeling go away? We had our first child in April and sometimes it still doesn't feel real.

This happened throughout the pregnancy, where I didn't believe I was ACTUALLY finally pregnant, to the point where I was joking that there might not really be a baby in there right before the birth.

Now that he's born I still feel as if this is part of a dream or an elaborate hoax and this isn't real life...as if I will wake up at some point and he won't be here because he never really existed.

Has anyone else gone through this?
