Teen mom to be
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
