Kinda Personal but ..

this may sound cliche. I don't know. I am so overwhelmed and I am only 7 weeks..my head is racing: at work I get flustered, home I think thinki think..what is I don't bond with the baby?
Someone already said they noticed my weight gain ( um hello I am overweight, its flab not LO), I cry a lot, I have morning sickness. I just feel like I am the worst pregnant person on earth.
thanks for letting me just put it out there.

Re: Kinda Personal but ..

You sound 100% TOTALLY NORMAL!!!!

It IS overwhelming. Every thing that you listed sounds about right to me.

Re: Kinda Personal but ..

Totally normal

Re: Kinda Personal but ..

What you're feeling is 100% normal!!! The first trimester can be tough....morning sickness, exhaustion, hormones, and just getting used to the fact that you're going to have a baby!

Re: Kinda Personal but ..

Blame the hormones! They are raging at this point and it's totally normal to feel flustered and panicked. This is life changing and the hormones don't help the matter! Just breath! It will be OK!

huh lol?

Re: Kinda Personal but ..

In my experience, the 1st tri is the worst!!

Your hormones are going CRAZY! Everything becomes real, especially with the morning sickness. Because of that, it's not a "good" real. I find myself resenting the baby for making me feel so crappy, with all 3 of my pregnancies.

But then I remember that the 2nd tri isn't too far off. The MS with taper off. And then I'll feel those little kicks. Then it becomes a "amazing" real.

Of course 3rd tri is uncomfortable. At that point you just want baby out. And you can't wait to see what they look like.

Post partum is a roller coaster too. But just remember, you will be the best mom you can be. And you will bond with your baby. It could be the second LO arrives, or a few weeks later, but you will.

This is my first.

Re: Kinda Personal but ..

Hello hormones!!! Good news is... IT GETS WORSE!!! Sorry! One of the many jobs of pregnancy. You will be a wonderful mother. I dont get those feelings too much anymore. So there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there.

Re: Kinda Personal but ..

Like the other ladies said, it's totally normal. Went through the same stuff myself. Had fits of crying thinking that I was going to be a terrible mother. I had that What Did I Do moment, that was fun. It does pass.
