I dont feel like I'm about to become a mother.
Why do I feel like this? I feel like a horrible person for NOT feeling like a mother. Especially at this point. I mean, I'm 38 weeks. I feel my LO move inside me everyday, yet I still cannot picture myself having a little baby that is all my own. Is this normal? Does anyone else ever feel like this? Is it hormones? Could it be because it's my first baby?
See? I just keep going over excuses for it. I dont want to feel like this. I want to feel excited and overjoyed. Instead I feel... dull.
I've felt like this for the last couple of days and it keeps making me all emotional and sad, but I dont know what to do. Maybe it's just that I've been preggo for so long and am becoming impatient and tired. Maybe it's just that I need to see my LO and hold him in my arms.
It seems I've gone over all the possible reasons I could feel this way. Yet, none of them have made it any better.
I just want to be excited!

I think it's normal to feel like that. Even though you know there's a baby in there it's hard to imagin it coming out and for some reason it just doesn't seem real till they're here.

I feel like it hasn't really sunk in for me yet either & I can't imagin having a baby in a few months time.

There are some days where I feel like that as well... This doesn't seem real at all !!! When LO will be there it will change I'm sure

Its totally normal to feel that way hon. I felt exactly the same way sometimes with Drake. Was actually scared I wouldn't bond with him. Soon you'll be holding your LO and you're going to be over the moon. I hope you cheer up soon

Theres moments where it's hard to picture that we are going to have a baby. I think the big part is because you know that little person is there but your yet to see them and your arms and hold them. I'm sure when you hold baby for the first time and you can see and feel his little fingers and toes you'll go straight into mother mode!!

Thats exactly how I feel! Like, I wont bond with him...
I cannot wait to have him, I dont like being pregnant anymore
Its just so hard to explain, and I dont want to sound like a horrible person.
I'm just sick and tired of being pregnant. But I feel like subconciously I'm... blaming LO. But I'm not. I haven't even seen or held him yet!
Then on the other hand, I can just think about the birth and first seeing him and holding him, and it brings me to tears. I know I will love him so much because I already do.
I dont want to feel like I'm blaming him.. it's not his fault. He is just growing and becoming healthy, which I want him to do.
It's probably just my hormones and not being able to sleep that is causing me to feel like this. Like I said, I dont like being pregnant anymore. I just want my baby.

I feel the same way. It is just so hard to imagine. I have been told that until that baby is on its way out it is not quite real. I also have the fear that I won't bond with my LO.

Totally understandable that you're fed up with the pregnancy. Just because you finally just want him out doesn't mean you're blaming him. I don't think there are many women that actually enjoy the last 3 weeks of pregnancy. I'm fed up with this one too, especially after what I've been going through and knowing that I'm going to have to do it again soon. But, these last few weeks will seem like a distant memory when you hold your LO. Hang in there hon

I know Im not as far along as you but I feel the same. I love my little boy so much, but I just can't imagine him being here and that I have to take care of him, it's quite a scary thought. I dont even know how to hold a baby!

When your LO is born Im sure youll feel completely different!
