Anyone else feel like this or just pure excitement?

Question

This probably sounds odd we planned to have this baby and we’ve been so excited.. we’re 12 weeks 2 days now, so I’ve told people in work and in person without publicly announcing it yet. 
But every time I tell someone I feel like I’m lying, like at the end of this I won’t have a baby?? I’m obviously been ridiculous but my husband said he even feels the same like he can’t imagine us haven another baby. Then I tell myself maybe I’m just in shock cause our other children took a very long time to conceive and this one just took us around a month and a bit (I suffer with cysts on my ovaries) 
The others I felt nothing but excitement and could imagine so many baby stuff and started looking to buy stuff but as excited as I am I’m just struggling to almost believe I am actually pregnant. 
Sorry for the long winded post I just needed to talk. 
❤️❤️

Answer

Yep, same.  This is our fourth.  We tried for this baby.  I had surgery to remove a perforated IUD specifically to have this child, and I STILL 3 months in just can’t fathom having another baby.  I can’t explain it.  I don’t know if It’s because we’ve “been there done that,” and have everything we need including clothing if it is another boy.  I don’t plan to buy a crib for this one possibly at all depending on if my toddler gives his up before this one is out of the bassinet in our room, so it’s not like we’re setting a nursery up.  Our toddler will have to move into the big boys room before baby can have the nursery.  We haven’t told hardly anyone including family because I’m out of work right now due to our sitters family getting hit terribly by covid so I don’t want them to stress about our income being halved for the time being.  Maybe next month when I find out the gender for sure I’ll feel a little more real.  I’ve also not even seen a doctor yet until next Friday so it’s like no one has acknowledged this pregnancy being real.

girl when I tell you I took 3 tests…. Paid for an early ultrasound @ 5 weeks just Bc I ddnt believe it 😂 I’m currently 12 weeks tomorrow and every time I see him in my belly on ultrasound I’m like wow Is this really mine????? Like it’s just an unbelievable feeling! Haha God and Jesus def blessed us!

Answer

I feel the same. I think it’s because it’s been 5 years since my last and this one was a big surprise. We’re so excited but it doesn’t feel real.

Answer

Not exactly the same, but my first two were planned and this one was a total surprise. I also have had close to no morning sickness or any symptoms otherwise but I was sick as a dog with my last two. I still find it hard to believe I’m pregnant and I don’t think it will really sink in until I start feeling kicks everyday 😂

Answer

Yeah, I still can't believe it even if I'm sick for the past 5 weeks and can do absolutely nothing... I had two miscarriages before getting pregnant this time, and so I guess I'm guarded until 2nd trimester .. or perhaps until birth? I don't feel as excited or joyful as the first time I got pregnant... I feel kind of bad, but trying to find compassion for myself and know that I will love this child, it's just hard to connect until I know it's here to stay. 10 weeks 1 day today.. just 3 more weeks until 2nd trimester! Maybe it will be more real?

Answer

I feel the same! We had been trying for 5 and a half years, started 6 months after my son was born. And it’s just so surreal to me that I’m having another baby! It doesn’t feel real even though I’ve seen little babe and feel like I have felt it move. It just feels so surreal.

Answer

I was worried about putting up this post I am so glad I did now, just to know I’m not alone or going crazy! 😂 I’ve nothing in for baby except a baby bath that was on sale 😂😂 I’ve to start all over again but I’m not ready to start buying yet 🙈😂 we will have our babies in our arms in no time and it’ll be all very very real 😂😂
