Why can't I get excited?

I am having such a hard time being positive about this when I constantly feel like puking. I know if I could get it through my thick skull that a miracle is happening inside me it would feel worth it but I can't! I'm totally in denial still and don't know how to snap out of it! How do you all do it?

  • I feel the same, I'm hoping to snap out of it soon.

  • It's hard when it still feels so unreal. Once you start to get past the morning sickness and start feeling your baby move, you'll feel more connected and positive. Give yourself some slack to feel all the emotions you're going through right now. They are varied & powerful because of the hormone changes in your body. That's not a bad thing... it's just uncomfortable. Hang in there. We'll make it through together.

  • Thanks for the support, that makes me feel a lot better actually. I hadn't considered that maybe it's hormones making me feel so negative?..which means eventually I'll snap out of it!

  • I like to say that I am cautiously excited. I am such a worrier and I think that until after the nt testing results come back, I will not be too excited. It?s scary business being pregnant!

  • You're not alone. The nerves, hormones, exhaustion, and constant sickness are making me miserable right now. I was actually just emailing DH about that this morning. I haven't been to the doctor yet and we haven't told anyone (and obviously can't feel the baby yet or anything), so it doesn't feel "real" - I just feel sick all the time right now.

  • For me I am super excited to be pregnant.  I have been through alot getting to this pregnancy but everyone is different.  You'll feel it soon, don't worry!

    I'm happy to be pregnant, but personally not as excited as I would have expected to be.  For me, I think it's a mix of nerves and sitting around for weeks waiting for my first OB appointment.  I don't think DH or I want to get too excited before feeling more assured that everything is ok -- right now, we don't really know anything at all.  So, I totally get where you are coming from.  

    Exactly. Our first OB appt isn't until August, so we're just sort of humming along until then. I've always had the feeling that I wasn't going to be one of those "OMG, I'm pregnant and I'm SO EXCITED and it's the BEST THING EVER!!11!1!!!" type of women. So far, I'm right, but we'll see. It's still early after all. :)
