FIRST BABY - DOESN'T SEEM REAL TO ME YET!

[Vicky_Gazerimmer]

I dunno if I am the only one, but this is my first baby. I am so excited about being a mum, but it all hasn't sunk in yet. I can't imagine myself giving birth, holding my baby or anything it all seems so alien right now!

Do any other first time mums feel this way? I know its something completely new to me as I am a first timer. When am I gonna feel like I am gonna be a mum?

 

[x-kirsty-x]

This is my second baby and I feel the same!

I just cant believe that at the end of all this theres gonna be a baby in my arms!

It isn't just first time Mummies

I feel exactly the same, i know i'm pregnant and a baby is growing and i'm getting baby stuff but it feels totally surreal, i'm in denighal(sp?) most of the time, wierd feeling.

Don't think the truth will hit home till i actually have my baby.

 

[Vicky_Gazerimmer]

I am so pleased I am not the only one! I was actually starting to feel guilty about it!

 

[Riley's Mommy]

i feel like that too. its surreal isnt it

 

[cloud9]

I can only thnk so far in advance and labour seems way off to me at the mo..seems like i will never be in tri 3 either but guess it won't be long

I feel EXACTLY like that! Its been so long since I had DD and its always been just me and her for 14 years that thats nearly half my life so everything seems surreal. I also cant picture LO as a chubby baby with flesh and still think he's this thing that looks like an alien from the scans

I feel exactly the same too.

Even when I was hooked up to heartbeat monitors the day before B&T came out, it didn't feel right!

Hard to believe that all this bumping and bubbling around is a baby!

I'm having mine in nine days and I still can't get my head around it.
It feels like it's all happening to someone else...completely surreal!

 

[Red_Fairy]

i totally feel this way, really cant imagine having a little girl around - that ill be her MOTHER...!!!!! i somtimes think that the reason i cant 'picture' it is bacause somethings gonna go wrong or somthing...

I'm a first timer too - cant believe that in a few months there will be a baby living in our house. Cant believe that in a years or so there will be a little person toddling about. Doesnt seem real.
I keep seeing baby milk and nappies etc in asda and not really realising that I will be buying such products in a matter of months!

It's my first baby too. I can sometimes imagine cuddling her (we know it's a girl) when she arrives, but not all the time. It's all a bit like a nice phantasy though, not very real - hearing other children crying makes me realise how rose-tinted some of what I envisage probably is. Birth is something too scary to even try to imagine!

 

[x-kirsty-x]

Once it happens though it all feels so natural and you cant imagine what life was like without them

 

[Salad]

That sounds really nice (and very encouraging!)

This is my 3rd and i don't think it will sink in until i have my baby in my arms, i can't imagine having a baby again as my girls are 5 and 4 now.

 

[jennywren]

I don't even think I'm pregnant...............what is it i'm doing here again?

 

[Hellokitty]

I don't even think I'm pregnant...............what is it i'm doing here again?

Right at this stage it does seem quite easy to forget!

I know exactly what you mean though Vicky!

I still cant believe it, and I am 5 days overdue...the longer it goes on the more I think its all a dream and never going to happen to me. I have had such a fab pregnancy, no symptoms and felt fantastic so its so hard to believe its actually happening if you know what I mean

 

[oldermum]

hearing other children crying makes me realise how rose-tinted some of what I envisage probably is.

I remember hearing a baby crying in Boots ages ago before i got pregnant a real screamer and i just had to move out of ear shot, i just thought thank god i don't have to go through that again.

At the beginning of the week there was a Baby crying in Mothercare and this time i just thought awwwww. Guess being pregs has changed my views again lol.
