Finally feeling excited

[Asti]

I have read so many posts on here, and everyone who is pregnant is feeling happy etc. But Ive just been feeling, well nothing. Maybe fearful, scared, unhappy about being pregnant. I have 2 girls aged 7yrs & 6yrs and although I sufferd terrible sickness with them, I was always excited and happy about having them. I really wanted this 3rd baby but when I did get pregnant, I thought OMG what have I done. I could only feel negative thoughts, like Im 38yrs old, theres a big age gap between my other 2 girls, it will have a negative impact on their life etc etc. I have been so worried about my negative feelings but i just couldnt make them go away, I watched the baby programmes, looked at our baby photos trying to feel something but it just didnt work.
Finally I have had my first scan today, it has changed everything. I feel so much love for it, I feel like I should feel. I feel sooo excited.
Just wanted to share.

Oh I can't wait to get there! I have been the same. I don't have any negative feelings or worries about anything, but I feel totally disconnected. Just totally disinterested with most things and not particularly excited.

I hope that 1st scan brings things around, as I do feel weird for lacking the enthusiasm... Especially considering this was not an accident!
