35 weeks pregnant, don't feel like I am having a baby?
My mind feels so messed up right now. My husband and I tried for a few months to get pregnant and found out even before my missed period that I was pregnant. We were so excited. This whole pregnancy I have been so excited to have a baby and I still am super excited. I just thought that it would start feeling real at some point. We have her room done, I had my baby shower, my hospital bag and her baby bag are all packed, everything is washed/cleaned/folded….everything is set up and ready to go. I even had to go to the hospital last weekend for them to stop my contractions. Yet, I still do not feel like there is going to be a baby here. It’s worrying me like something is going to go wrong. I don’t think I could handle losing her, because I love her so much already and just can’t wait for her to get here. I just seriously cannot picture a baby here in my life all the time. It’s such a weird feeling. I am using my fetal doppler like a few times a day because I am so worried since I think I should feel like a mom and at least have some sort of idea of her being here. This is our first baby, I just feel like I am going crazy. Is this normal?

How are you meant to imagine something in your life that you have never experienced before. I wouldn’t worry so much. Sounds normal to me. I have my daughter home (8months old) and it still doesn’t seem real sometimes, as though sometimes she’s not mine or that Im surely not her mum. Its so strange adjusting your life, but it gradually happens and before you know it you won’t remember life without her. x
you might have a late baby
Take a breath and try to relax. Worrying is part of a mothers job. It is hard to know what you are going to feel until the time really comes. When you hold that baby in your arms and feel that love it will be real. You will be a great mom.
I feel the same way. Its just a part of being pregnant. Well for me at least.
perfectly normal. all first time mothers have "weird" feelings. so don’t feel like you’re alone at all. it’s normal to feel whatever you’re feeling, whether you’re scared a little or alot, not nervous at all, excited or sad. pregnancy and even post pregnancy are literally a roller coaster of feelings and emotions, good and bad. trust me, it will become more real as soon as you see that precious little face.
This is your first baby, you shouldn’t feel so worried. I am pregnant with my first and of course I just can’t imagine how much my life will change and how there is really going to be a baby here with me all the time, everyday. It’s completely normal to feel paranoid too. I mean When my baby doesnt move as much in one day as Im used to I completely freak out.
Of course It is so scary to be carrying this baby for nine months and to think that it won’t actually be here after all of that work, but you just have to relax. Easier to say than do, I know.
Just remember how well you’ve taken care of yourself and just hope for a healthy baby. Don’t dwell so much on your worries. =)
