Just feels fake...

in February 2013 Moms

Hi ladies. Sorry I haven't been around much since my intro last week... It's been a busy few weeks for us and it isn't letting up anytime soon. 

I have been having a hard time getting attached to this pregnancy. Obviously it's because of my previous loss and I know it's normal. But I feel sad that I can't get into it. It just doesn't feel real yet although I've seen a HB 2 times already. I just hope it hits me soon... Probably at 12 week nt scan I hope. 

Anyway I hope everyone is doing well and sorry jm not around much. I'll be lurking and will probably be more active once I feel a little more at ease. Xox

    I almost lost my daughter twice during my first pregnancy.  It made it really hard to believe we would make it.  This time around I am in with all emotions.  It is much more real to me the second time around because I know it is possible.  I know it is a miracle that any baby is born with all that has to happen.  So you just have to have hope for each day.  That is all you can do.  You are pregnant today!  You never can know what tomorrow will bring.  You cant go all the way to the end wondering if you will get there.  It will drive you crazy.  Just try and cherish every day you can.  Good luck.  Hope this little baby sticks for you

    Well said.

    It's finally starting to kind of sink in for me now that we saw the baby. But I know it will be way more real once I get my bump :) Stay positive!

    Hey Spruce, don't worry - those kinds of feelings are normal, especially after a loss. Even with my DD, though, who was my first pregnancy, I didn't really feel attached until she got here. Give it time and don't be too hard on yourself!

    I feel the same way, even though I haven't experienced a loss.  This being my first pregnancy, I don't know what to expect and everything is so new.  I'm holding my breath until next week's OB and NT scan appointments at 12.5 weeks.  Maybe then it might feel a little more real?

    Thanks for all the kind words :) I guess it helps to know that i'm not the only one who is feeling this way. I just can't wait until I can finally be excited and get over this crazy anxiety and fear!
