Im not feeling excited about this pregnancy it definitely came as a shock and it wasnt planned. I hope its just the hormones because i feel terrible about feeling that way. Has anyone else gone through this?
My 3rd baby was only 7 months old when I found out I was pregnant with baby 4 and I was6nt ready to be pregnant again so it caused me to to through postpartum depression and I even had a touch of psychosis and I lost the sense of reality. I literally didn't know what was real and what was made up in my mind and I stopped caring for myself. (I still took care of my kids, just not me) and this went on for months. Finally when I got to the 3rd trimester and my youngest was over 1 I finally came around to it and started feeling better and even excited. Now my little Faith is here and i am so in love and thankful to have her. I feel guilty all the time for feeling the way i did most of my pregnancy. But we are human and we are allowed to feel things. I hope the feeling passes quickly for you and you enjoy your pregnancy and the little life you are growing. But allow yourself to feel what you need to.
I felt that way when I first found out I was pregnant. I was still in college and had an IUD. The feeling did fade but I was terrified. I think I’m still terrified lol
I think terrified is another thing im feeling. The birth with our son was very scary and traumatic so we were actually not gonna have anymore . Which might be a huge reason im feeling this way.
@mnturdburgler, it’s okay to think about your options. No judgment here at all, it’s whatever is best for your mental health and your family. Is your partner supportive??
