Feeling removed.

bornmommy · August 2013

Any other moms feeling a bit removed from this pregnancy? I have been spotting/bleeding from the get go of this pregnancy (like I did with my son) but with him, I felt much more attached at the beginning. Granted, there are a lot of things going on in my life right now (ie. chasing after a 15 months old, I just started working, we just had two deaths in the family, and I'm sick.) but I really don't like how I feel about this pregnancy. Maybe I've decided that I was miscarrying and I am protecting myself (this bleeding has been different than it was with DS and I've had cramping) but the "removed" feeling just sucks.

I have this a little bit too. Like, even though I was getting BFPs I still didn't really let myself believe I was pregnant. I've been a lot more cautious/distant this time around and I'm hoping that changes once I have seen the heart beating.

I don't usually "connect" until further along when I can feel the baby moving and all. I also have two other kids and work and all, so I'm always distracted. Its normal!

I think having other kids to focus on leaves me very little time to obsess over this pregnancy.

I do a bit. We were a bit surprised to be expecting since I was on bc and honestly I cried. We are trying to sell our house and all five kids being at home all day has me very stressed. Also, we know my family isn't going to be excited for us to begin with, so we've only told Dh's sister. Keeping it a big secret and feeling overwhelmed to begin with has me feeling a bit removed as well. I know it will change, but my life has to calm down a bit first.

I am sorry you feel this way ((hugs)). you have a lot on your plate right now so maybe it's your mind's way of worrying about everything else and not this baby. I do hope that the bleeding and cramping lessens. Have you seen the doc yet? Maybe it's all just due to stress?

I am completely detached from my pregnancy, but it's because I have lost 2 babies and have no living children. I am fully expecting to lose this one as well because that's how every pregnancy has gone for me. It's really hard to connect when you're so afraid.

I am very very slowly getting past that. I really think it has to do with my MC in June. I guess I'm still afraid to get too excited.

I'm still forgetting I'm pregnant now and then. I think running after a toddler has something to do with it. Too busy to sit and fawn over the miracle of life LOL. I also think its a way to self-preserve. I was blindsided by our loss, but I'm more aware this go 'round so I'm just taking it day by day instead of over thinking the possible future

Until I see a heartbeat, I am just edgy about it. I feel that there is a possibility that this isn't a viable pregnancy, anything can happen, etc. So until I see the bean and a heartbeat, I'm just day to day right now. I am excited, but I need more reassurance this go round. I'm older now, my kids are older, and I just need to see that heartbeat to believe that this pregnancy will result in baby #3 for us.
