8 weeks preg and don't feel "mom-ish"

in 1st Trimester
So I guess it's weird.. But took hpt- was positive, went to docs- they confirmed with blood test- I have had the symptoms- cramping, blushing, headaches, increased appetite, big breast, nausea, frequent urination, gas, etc- u name it... But I still has not really sunk in that I'm going to be a mom and that I'm having a BABY. I feel like I should be thinking or feeling different. I wonder if it's bc we have not had our first doc visit yet- or that we aren't planning to tell anyone till second trimester.. I dunno... Anyone else feel like this?

    Totally. I think it's hard to really have it sink in until you start telling other people.  I'm excited to have a baby but it hasn't hit me except for having guilty feelings when I haven't drank water in the last 20 minutes. :-/  I still haven't had symptoms yet, though, so maybe I will then and I don't know what I'm talking about?

    I have a toddler and another on the way and it still hasn't sunk in that I am a mom.  I don't know you ever get used to it. : )

    I felt this way through my whole first pregnancy. It's hard to adjust to something that is still totally untangible. I remember that when I saw my daughter for the first time after giving birth the first thought I had was "oh my gosh, she's real!" Like somewhere in the back of my mind the whole time I thought it was all a dream! Just try to enjoy your last few months of life being all about you, because once you're a mom, it's never about just you anymore.

    I totally feel like that. I often think about that. We got pregnant on the first cycle, so we weren't trying for a long time. I think that contributes partially with how I feel. I was mentally prepared to go through several cycles.


    And, even if this sounds weird, I try not to get too attached yet in case of m/c.

    Yep, this. I've been a mom for almost a full year and still don't feel "mom-ish." I have moments where I'm just amazed at this beautiful little person who belongs to me and can't imagine why anyone would trust me to raise her, LOL.
