is there something wrong with me?

I think I'm gonna be so protective over my baby, to the point where I really don't want people to hold him. Just thinking about it now makes me feel uneasy! I don't know if its hormones but I'm just so irritable with people at the moment and I'm getting annoyed by everyone. It annoys me when people touch my bump or when I see my family getting really excited over my baby being born. I'm an incredibly private person and I haven't even announced my pregnancy on facebook, partly cos I don't feel the need and partly cos I don't want the attention. I live with my parents atm whilst me and my boyfriend are house hunting, and I just keep thinking when he's born my mum's gonna want to hold him all the time and see him all the time when all I really want is for me and my boyfriend to bond with him by ourselves (I'll be living at my parents when he's born). Also the other day my mum and I were out and we bumped into some aquaintences we haven't spoken to for years. Well anyway she didn't let me speak and then told them I was having a baby. I was mortified! I barely knew them and I felt that if I wanted to say anything I should be the one to tell them not her. So I had a go at her and she said well its my grandchild so I can tell who I want, that really annoyed me! Anyway I'm rambling now, but basicallly I just want to know am o being selfish? Is it normal to just want your baby all to yourself?!

I know what you mean. I'll be crazy over hand washing! And certain people I can't imagine holding him but how do you say no? I think it might be easier when he's here, but right now I don't want to share!

It is difficult to share, when my daughter was born i felt the same way and sometimes I cringed when people would take my baby from me and sometimes I didnt even go places because I knew everyone would just want to hold her and I didnt want that! My advice to you is to try to be reasonable, but if you are feeling uncomfortable or feel that you need more time don't be afraid to say you just need some time with you and your baby and bf...If people don't understand that is theyre problem...that is what i am going to do this time around

It's not easier when they are here its harder. BUT you will need some help you can't do it alone nor should you. I was crazy with my first and I realize it now. It's a good thing for your baby to have more than just mom and dad that love him/her and have a role in shaping them.
