The story

I just feel like such a horrible person, I’m almost 40 weeks pregnant, already having some contractions during the day and all. But even with all, I can’t feel much of a connection to my baby, I just feel huge and sick and tired.

I got pregnant due to a one night stand (which was my first and last), I’m still too young and in school, but even with it, I feel so guilty and like such a bad mom for not feeling much for this baby

I totally get where you're coming from—pregnancy can be an overwhelming rollercoaster! It's not unusual to feel exhausted and disconnected at this point. You’re dealing with a lot, both physically and emotionally; feeling guilty doesn’t make you a bad mom. Remember, how you’re feeling now doesn’t determine the kind of parent you’ll be; you're just going through a tough time right now 😌 Hang in there, it will get better!

I feel you; pregnancy sure is a wild ride 🤰 It's honestly not surprising you're feeling so disconnected and tired at this stage, especially after everything you’ve been through. Don't beat yourself up for it. You're dealing with a lot of physiological changes and emotional stress. You're not alone; a lot of people face these feelings!!! Maybe try reaching out to someone to talk it through? It could help lift some of that burden 🌈

I understand that you’re feeling overwhelmed, but I gently disagree with your sentiments. Pregnancy and its accompanying hormonal fluctuations can certainly lead to feelings of detachment, but as they say, "Every journey is different." It’s crucial to maintain hope and not judge your maternal instincts too harshly. As the saying goes, "This too shall pass." Many people experience moments of doubt during gestation, yet develop profound connections with their infants post-birth. Trust in the process and be kind to yourself; nurturing takes time and patience. 😊

I’m sorry to hear about that. I don’t know your views but it is always okay to get an abortion, don’t worry about what others say because as long as you are happy it doesn’t matter. You are young and need to live your life before taking care of another. If you are keeping the baby, putting it up for adoption is also an option so if you do give birth or have a C section, someone can take care of it. If you want to keep it, your parents might be able to help take care of it. Whatever choice you make, but remember nobody else’s opinion matters but your own in this situation. Whatever’s you decide to do I am proud of you and just know you have someone supporting you the whole way, you got this girl

I get it, pregnancy is brutal! 😤 You're going through physiological changes, hormonal fluctuations, and emotional stress; all at once. I mostly agree with how you're feeling. It's not unusual to feel disconnected from the little alien growing inside you. I remember when I was pregnant, and I was just counting days to get my body back. Don't be too hard on yourself. This is a normal, albeit annoying, part of the process. Just hang in there and take care of yourself. 👶💤

Honestly, I think you're being too hard on yourself. 🤨 Not feeling connected right now doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom. Plenty of folks say, "bonding sometimes comes later." You're in the thick of it with all the physiological changes and hormonal surges—it's no walk in the park; but that doesn’t define your whole experience. Keep your head up, and take it one day at a time. You’ve got this! 💪

i see where you're coming from, but i somewhat disagree with your perspective. while pregnancy can indeed be full of hormonal and physiological upheaval, it is vital to remember that these feelings of disconnection might not be permanent. when i was pregnant, i often felt overwhelmed and wondered if i'd ever bond with my baby; however, once they arrived, everything shifted and began to make sense!!! it's reasonable to question yourself and your emotions, but it's equally important to allow time for those bonds to develop naturally and without undue pressure. you are not alone in this, and many people share these complex emotions during gestation. perhaps try focusing on small moments of connection rather than the overall picture, you might find comfort in unexpected places.

i get that you're feeling disconnected and overwhelmed, but i must say i slightly disagree with the negative view you're holding. while pregnancy certainly puts you through hormonal and physiological storms, it doesn't dictate the potential bond you'll form with your baby. have you considered that maybe these feelings are part of the process and not an indication of your future connection? as they say, "love isn't always loud". sometimes, bonds form quietly; they take time and patience. many people go through similar feelings during gestation, and with time, find that nurturing relationship with their child. isn't it possible that once your baby arrives, you might find a connection that wasn't apparent during pregnancy? you are truly braver than you think, and these challenging emotions are just one part of the journey. 💙

i completely get were your coming from, and to be honest, I totally agree with your perspective. 😟 pregnancy ain't all sunshine and rainbows; it's a demanding, multifaceted process involving hormonal imbalances and significant physiological changes that can make you feel utterly disconnected from the experience. having been in a similar situation myself, feeling like a "bad mom" is common yet unjustified. as Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star." in times like these, it is crucial to allow yourself the grace to endure; letting yourself feel without judgment is key. honestly, maternal instincts don’t always click immediately, and that's perfectly normal. 🤷‍♀️ just try not to be too hard on yourself.

BoisterousBrownWaterCoracleInLagosWithDisgust 18d ago

I understand you feel disconnected, but I have to disagree with the intensity of those feelings. Pregnancy, with all its hormonal fluctuations and physiological challenges, can certainly make things difficult, but it is not definitive of the maternal bond you will form. When I was pregnant, I often heard, "Love grows with time"; it's true that the connection doesn't always happen immediately. It's reasonable to feel weighed down, but you might be overthinking the seriousness of your situation. The road is tough, and feeling tired is part of the journey, not the end of it. Just give yourself some time and grace; things can change unexpectedly.

i completely understand where you're coming from, and i totally agree with your feelings. pregnancy can often feel like an isolating experience, and the physiological changes your body goes through are no small feat. i remember during my own pregnancy, i often felt disconnected and emotionally drained, and wondering if there was something wrong with me. i read a quote once that said, "motherhood is a journey, not a destination," and that really stuck with me. while you're dealing with all the hormonal shifts and physical discomfort, it's perfectly normal to feel separate from the little one growing inside you. it's essential to be kind to yourself and acknowledge that these experiences are part of your unique journey. when your baby arrives, those feelings might evolve into something you can't even predict yet. you're doing the best you can in a really challenging situation, and that's all anyone can ask for.
