My first ultrasound I didn't smile , I wasn't excited or anything & today I heard the baby's heart beat for the first…

do you feel like that as if you don't feel connected in your pregnancy? are you scared? do you feel it's not real?

@blessedwithbaby, I just don't care too much about it , I never wanted kids , I even got a tattoo on my stomach so it would always remind me not to have one because it would mess it up , don't get me wrong i love kids I have 3 year old twin sisters that I would give them the world if I could but I don't know maybe it's just my hormones or something I just don't think anything of it to be honest , I always pretend to be happy do people won't bash me for not being happy for the blessing I received

is your baby daddy in the picture

I felt the same way. i Still did up until 3 days ago. I felt terrible that I didn't feel happy or love for my baby.. I already felt like a horrible mom :/ I mentioned it to my partner 3 days ago, he made me feel better, he told me not to feel bad. most women don't feel nothing till they make eye contact and hold their babies. I asked my sister's and they told me that's how they felt too. i was glad i wasn't the only one

I'm 32 weeks..

@mssjudyk thank you so much for sharing because I thought it was just me 😔. & everyone's like well if you feel that way just have an abortion

@blessedwithbaby, yeah but we aren't together which was my choice because he's very controlling & likes to get physical

You do what's best for you. Never let anyone influence the decisions u make. specially one as important as this one. When the Dr first told me my heart sank, my partner was cheesing like there was no tmro. I looked like i saw a ghost... he wasn't too happy about that. but u can't help how you feel. I would lie too.. tell everyone i was excited and that i loved my baby so much already... I could tell they wouldn't take too kindly to my real feelings. Having the support (specialky emotionally) from your baby's father is helpful. We've had a lot of ups and downs... mostly downs but his support is very helpful. if u dont want him in the picture there's family support, in my case I had a friend who would take me out and get me my cravings and treat me like a queen... He was great! He doesn't know how much he helped :)

@mssjudyk yes your right I appreciate it seriously!
