I want to start off by saying I'm ashamed of what I'm writing and came to a public forum because I can't face talking to family or friends honestly about this so here goes.. I'm nearly 17 weeks pregnant, its my 1st baby and I'm 27 years old. I have a good relationship with my boyfriend and hace known him all my life. I've always wanted a baby or thought I did.. I already suffer from panic disorder, ocd and a number of phobias. I've had a very hard pregnancy with going off my meds abd having hyperemisis. Now here I am feeling things I feel I'm alone in... I feel like I don't love my baby. I necer want to talk about it, touch my stomach, look at baby things.. I cry all the time and think when its born I should just leave it with the father and run away. If I see little kids on tv it makes me angry. Am I alone in this? Please don't judge me. I'm scared and I guess I just want to know I'll be better. I pray all the time that I feel different. What is wrong with me?

This is definitely not the first post I've seen like this on the forum and it won't be the last, so I'm sure you are not alone in your feelings. I understand feeling uncomfortable telling the babies father or your family this, but you do ne
I am in a moms group and we just had a presentation from a pregnancy counselor yesterday. You are not alone. 1 in 4 women feel depression during and after pregnancy.
You need to go to a counselor NOW and do not wait until
I'm at 25 weeks now, and I have had many weeks where I felt just like you. I feel like I'm horrible at being pregnant because I'm not excited about it like everyone else seems to be. I've been married for almost 3 years and have financial s
I just want to comment from the stand point of someone who has had Hyperemesis with two pregnancies (I also haven't read any of the comments).
With both pregnancies I lost 20+lbs immediately and with this pregnancy
