Being pregnant

Jess

Is it odd that I get weirded out that there’s a baby growing inside me? I have anxiety really bad with this pregnancy and have wanted a baby forever. I was pregnant once years ago but didn’t carry full term and never felt like this according to my memory. I just read that the baby was the size of a lime and got legitimately weirded out that there’s something growing inside of me. I’m so excited to build our family with my husband I just don’t know why I feel this way and it makes me feel terrible! Almost like I’m completely disconnected. I’ll have some short moments of excitement or connection where I talk to her for a quick second but for the most part I feel like I’m just growing her to bring her into the world and it creeps me out almost even as opposed to everyday rubbing my belly with such amazement and a bond. Kind of making me feel crazy like there’s something wrong with me but my hormones are also just starting to calm down so I pray this goes away. If anyone has experienced something similar and wants to share so I know I’m not nuts, that would be great!
