Answer 1

I have felt the same way! I am 35 weeks and it took me awhile to get excited about my marriage and pregnancy. We planned on getting married in the spring of next year, but we changed out minds and got married in May. I was not excited about getting married until it was over. Now i love being married. Also I was wasn't VERY excited about the baby until probably 27 weeks pregnant. I am still scared and nervous about having a baby but have embraced my feelings and I am sure you will too!!

It sounds like you are suffering from depression.  Talk to your doctor to get yourself back on track.

Answer 3

I felt the same way when I got pregnant. Everyone else would get so excited but I'd just get irritated by them. I was nervous and apprehensive about having a baby though, which is entirely normal. But I have my son now, he's 2 months old, and I couldn't be happier with him.

Go ahead and accept that you're stressing out, this is a major change in your life. Be on the lookout for baby blues or post partum depression, I had the baby blues for the first three weeks after my son was born. Be prepared to be exhausted, scared, and unsure of yourself after your baby is born. Also know that bonding with your child might not take place right away, it may be a few weeks. You might feel guilty about that, and it's not something that very many mothers will openly admit to so you might feel very alone in your feelings. You might wonder what the big deal is about having a baby, you may feel that you made a mistake.

But then one day it's going to hit you. You're gonna be looking at your baby with his crappy diapers and his face all red from crying, and the amount of love you're going to feel for him will surprise the heck out of you. THAT feeling is what everyone is expressing to you now - most mothers only remember the good part of having a new baby and right now they're feeling that excitement for you.

If you're not feeling it yet, trust me - in time you will. Just accept how you feel now and roll with it. It will pass in time.

Congratulations to you and good luck!

Its ok, it sounds to me like you are having baby jitters as well as marriage jitters. having a baby and getting married are both big steps. But don't stress your self out to much, its not good for the baby. also try talking to your Friend and family also your future husband. trust me it will make you feel better.

Answer 5

tell this to your doctor, the hormones could be causing depression and they can help you! good luck!
