Ready but not ready!

Courtney • Wife 👰🏾🤵🏻 💙4/15/19 💙 8/11/20 due 9/4/22

I'm ready for my body to be mine again and not to hurt so much. I'm so NOT ready to share my baby with other people. The closer I get to delivering him I just feel like I dont want to have to share him. So far he has been all mine yanno. Inside of me and I can feel him more than anyone else. Soon people will touch him and I feel like I dont want them to. My husband keeps saying that we should open the windows in his bedroom but I dont want people to see inside his room. My mom keeps saying she is going to do this or that with him and while I want her to, I dont want him around my stepfather ever in life. My baby boy will have to be shared with other people.

Idk if this makes sense, I'm just anxious about him being out there in the open for everyone to see and anything to happen. I pray this feeling goes away. I've only told my husband how I'm feeling and he told his sister who has a 2 year old. She said that is a sign of postpartum depression. I havent even had him yet. Baby boy has alot if family and I'll get over this feeling I'm sure. Maybe I'm just sad that pregnancy will be over soon. I'm so excited to meet my sweet prince and see what he looks like.

I'll get over this feeling of selfishness I'm sure. Does anyone else feel this way or have felt this way in the past?
