So, maybe some of you will think that this is a stupid question....but I'm finding myself wondering about this and almost feeling a little bit of guilt in a weird way. So, I'm 25, and don't have any kids. I totally have baby fever though! Whenever I daydream about my future and give in to all my baby fever thoughts, I'm always thinking about what it will be like to be PREGNANT, and all the clothes I will wear, and hope that I wont be tooo fat, and the baby shower, and thinking of names, and ultra sounds, giving birth, planning, buying baby stuff, etc.
I noticed that I dont often think of the actual CHILD that I would have. Like occasionally I'll WOnder what he or she will look like, and how I will love to hold my baby and how much I will love him/her. But thats pretty much the extent of it.
I don't really daydream about a toddler or a young kid or a teenager. (its crossed my mind, but I dont "daydream" about it) Just a newborn baby, but mostly just the PREGNANCY part of the whole thing.
I'm wondering....am I obsessed with having a baby/wanting to be a mom? Or just being pregnant? Like, I'm wondering if maybe I'm just wanting attention or something and I think being pregnant will provide that.
I can't decide. Of course I want to be a mom, and once it happens I'm sure I'll love all parts of it. But right now I'm having trouble seeing beyond just the pregnancy aspect. Maybe because being pregnant is such a huge/life changing thing and its exciting? I don't know.
ANY INPUT?? Can anyone relate? ANy moms start out feeling this way?
by the way, i usually wouldnt open up about this but Im feeling all emo today...haha. So only nice/helpful responses please
