The closer I get the more scared I get. I don't feel maternal at all. I'm prepared l, I have everything I need but it's just things... I have no connection at all and it's freaking me out. I want pregnancy to be over already because I'm in so much pain but the thought of this tiny human needing everything from me is scaring me. I don't think I can do it. I never wanted to have kids, I always said that then when I got pregnant I thought I'd change but I haven't. I'm doing all this preparing, buying and organizing but the thought that it's going to grow and need me forever.... I'm freaking out I really am. Does this feeling go away? what if it never does... I feel like a terrible person. I'm not made for this....

It'll go away once you see that precious baby boy. I'm praying for you

I feel the same way sometimes. I love my baby with all my heart and most of the time I do feel maternal but those thoughts do creep up on me from time to time. Just make sure after the baby comes that you take care of yourself and don't be afraid to seek help if you feel depressed because that sounds like early signs of PPD but then again it could all go away when you hold your baby

I didn't really feel a connection until my son was one month old. It'll come though. Don't worry!

I guess it's different for everyone, but I did not have that "bond" as soon as I saw my daughter. No maternal instincts came rushing through my body as soon as she was born. I was still very lost. The feeling DOES go away, but it takes a lot longer for some people, for the first month or so of my daughter's life it felt like I was endlessly baby sitting. it did not feel like "this is my child." I had never thought about having kids prior, so she was a big wake up call in my life. It will come to you, but probably not as soon as you hold your child. Of course you will love your baby, but that maternal feeling doesn't just magically happen the second they are in your arms, for some at least. Don't freak out, it's normal. It will come to you, and you will be a great mother. I promise.
