  Don't be too hard on yourself, but do get some help from your doctor.  Being a new parent (heck, even an experienced parent) is scary- you're responsible for another person- a very confusing little person who can't tell you what they want or need.

  Do you have a psychologist you could speak with about your feelings?  You are not alone and pregnancy is not always the easiest of times.  Your hormones are very unbalanced right now and I highly suggest speaking with your doctor.  Hang in

  I agree you really ought to talk to your psychologist about how you are feeling.  I know it's not openly discussed, but some women (with or without mental health issues) feel a disconnect from what is going on in their bodies.  When you have

  Make sure to talk to a professional. You may change your mind once you meet your baby, but you may not. If that's the case then you do have options once the baby is born.

  No judgement at all. I agree with PP and think you should tell your OB and speak to a psychologist. If youre feeling this way, and feel the need to tell (which is a good thing) I think its serious enough to have a conversation with someone.  Not ever

  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 don't think you should feel bad or ashamed of yourself but I do think these feelings are not normal and you should be seen by a therapist/psychologist/etc.  You may find talking to someone will be very helpful in helping you work through these feel

  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.

  I would talk to your OB & your mental health professional/psychologist.  It sounds to me like you may be experiencing prenatal depression.  I believe up to 20% of women experience it and given your prior history, you may have a higher risk.&

  Thank you everyone for not judging me. I am currently seeking a psychiatrist and will be open with my obgyn. I didn't because of the shame I felt. I don't wish these feelings on any mom to be and I pray to come through this. I believe in God and I know I'

  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).

  I am a clinical psychologist, and if you came to me at my clinic I would immediately connect you with a support network which would include a psychiatrist and a psychiatric nurse specializing in post partum. You have to remember that any anxiety disorder
