Feeling Detached

So this is my first pregnancy and it was not planned. At first I wasn’t going to go through with the pregnancy but something just told me to. So, now I’m 7 weeks and 3 days but this past week I’ve been feeling so detached. I’ve been so scared for our first ultrasound. What if we don’t hear a heartbeat? I’ve been feeling so detached from my partner even though he has been the most supportive partner I could have ever asked for. Has anyone else felt this detachment??

This can be somewhat normal. They say women become mothers when they see the positive test, men become fathers when they meet their baby. There’s a huge difference in what you’re experiencing. If you have any friends that have had kids sometimes hearing you’re not alone is enough. If it persists definitely talk to your partner and doctor (could be prenatal depression) and maybe even consider therapy.
