Feel like this isn't real?

Question

Anyone feel the same way as me? I am a first time mom. Got pregnant first cycle. No previous miscarriages. I guess you can say I'm quite lucky and I feel extremely fortunate.

I feel like things sometimes have sunk in. But other times I just can't believe that any few months were going to have a baby. I feel him moving around and everything seems normal. However I find myself feeling more like, "if he gets here." Not WHEN he gets here.

I'm SO excited. I just don't know what's wrong. I feel like my mind won't let me fully comprehend I'm pregnant.

It's just really weird --- even being around family around Christmas time I feel like I'm some big hoax LOL even though everything is true.

I'm also on the smaller bump end. Maybe that's it??

Answer

That's me, too! Except for the small bump, I'm rounding out big time, but it's still unreal!
Anytime anyone around me is pregnant I have accepted that YES they will be great parents, baby is coming on XYZ date, and my reality shifts to accept that almost immediately! 
For some reason my reality hasn't shifted for my own pregnancy, I am still in the "can this be real? Why does this still feel too good to be true? I'm actually going to be a mother?"
I am relieved to hear that it's not just me  LOL

Answer

Yes, completely understand! Even feeling her move is still very unreal.

Answer

Baby #3 here and sometimes I have to remind myself that am pregnant too  So don't worry it's called the honeymoon stage of pregnancy for a reason ☺️

Answer

It doesn't feel "real" to me yet either. I think it probably won't until the baby actually gets here, lol.

Answer

I'm in the exact same boat with you! I was off of birth control for one cycle before I got pregnant. It was an incredible shock and I feel like its still sinking in. It doesn't seem possible that this is happening to me. I'm a ftm, no previous pregnancies. Same with my hubby. I feel like I will just begin to get used to it by the time she is due! I just cannot grasp the fact that I'm creating a life and that I am a mother. It is so surreal. I thought my 20 week ultrasound would really drive it home! It was amazing but it still feels unreal!

Answer

I have a nearly 2 year old and some days it still doesn't feel real.... I'm a mom? What? Lol
Due with #2 on the 17th of April and some days I even forget I'm pregnant.

Answer

I'm very ready for her to get here, and feel it's real,  but It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact I'm going to be a mom. I get to call her my daughter. Still feels strange saying it out loud.

Answer

I understand what you mean. (: it's normal

Answer

I'm on #3 and I walked into our bonus room where all our baby stuff is and bam it was like "Wow there's going to be a baby here in 15 weeks!"

Answer

I am joining the club! First pregnancy, no morning sickness during first tri. I am on mt 25th week and even though i have few back pains and difficult to dress myself everytime i see my bump i am surprise! I am pregnant! I cannot believe this! Though i love the feeling of her movements, priceless. ^-^
