Q: Almost 4 months pregnant but emotionally not attached to baby have others felt that way?

My first two pregnancies were miscarriages. This is my third and I know Im pregnant, I mean I listen to the baby everyday with my doppler!I'm almost 4 months. But I just have a hard time accepting that there is really a baby in there. My friend thinks Im crazy, but she has never miscarried before.So my question is has anyone else felt this way and was there some point during your pregnancy that you started to accept it and feel attached to the baby?

I feel the same way... yet i'm only 7w 6d... and I've had 3 miscarriages in total. I have one boy, 8yrs old. But I can't help not feel exited that i'm pregnannt. Plus I rather neglect myself from any positive feelings, because I feel if there's any bad news maybe I'll cope with it better. Hug to you! And i'm sure your baby will be just fine! Best of luck :)

I understand what you mean completely. We've had two miscarriages and the last one was extremely traumatic. We are pregnant again and I think both of us are so frightened of going through it again that we're not really getting excited about this one yet. Maybe if we make it to the 3rd trimester this time it'll click. But you are definitely not alone. *hugs*

You are not alone. I'm 19 weeks and feel completely disconnected from the pregnancy. I am not excited, nor sad, just blah. Everything is fine, but I just don't feel any connection. I am not depressed or showing any symptoms of depression or anything similar, I'm just not "into" this whole pregnancy thing. I try to fake it a bit for the in-laws, but my close friends and hubby know the truth and are very supportive and have reassured me that it's normal. Hang in there; you're not alone! *big hugs*

I know exactly how you feel. I am 27 weeks pregnant on my fith pregnancy (I have 2 girls, lost 2 babies). My last pregnancy ended with a stillborn baby boy at 17weeks in Oct 2011. I am due just one day after I had the stillborn. I have not been happy with this pregnancy as I am so still scared to lose it. I do listen as well to a doppler everyday. Everyone thinks I should be excited because it's a boy but I have told myself that I am not going to be happy until I see him for the first time and he is healthy. I havent even gotten any baby stuff ready yet, no crib, no boys cloths, nothing yet. Hang in their, your not the only one and good luck!
