For the longest time I've felt ashamed for not feeling like a mother until someone I met today told me they felt the exact same way. During these past 9 months I've honestly felt more like a permanent babysitter rather than a mother. I don't know why.. but I guess a lot of people feel this way
@nessa_475, that's exactly how it's been for me. Since the day I found out I was pregnant I was always embarrassed by it.. not a lot of people saw me while I was pregnant and I never really let it be know until around the time I had them. I think it's a combination of me being 21, the rocky relationship me and their father has had for the past 2 years & the fact that I never wanted kids. Don't get me wrong, I love them to death an I'd do anything for them but I just don't feel like a mother..
I was that way with my oldest. But with this baby it's different. And I feel guilty for not having that connection with my oldest. @nessa_475 @twinmommy
I've felt this way. I haven't felt much of a connection even tho I want to. one of friends said she was like this as well with her first born and everything changed after her son was born. I feel guilty for feeling this way and idk why I do but I hope that changes after I have my son. tried to get prego for three yrs and nothing and now I'm prego and I guess its mixed emotions. you're not the only one. I know I love my son I jus wish I had the connection like all the other mothers on here who are so happy about their Lil one. maybe BC my pregnancy has been hell could be another reason why I don't feel a connection yet 😥
I was happy when I found out I was. I even cried cuz I couldn't for three yes but then I jus have felt nothing. I cried at my first ultrasound and then nothing since. I jus feel like a horrible person. I know I'll love him once he's here jus wish I had the connection during my pregnancy with him 😞 @twinmommy
