When will it feel real?

[Minnie_me]

I don't know if it is anxiety or a result of my horrible gyn history but I still can't get my head round this. I am lying in bed with a sizeable bump being kicked about and yet it still doesn't seem real. I can't work out if it is a protective thing as so much has gone wrong in the past or whether everyone feels this way. Am I alone?

I think it probably is a self-preservation thing. For me it feels real... but not yet a happy ending. Not happy til he's screaming in my face.

I dont think it will feel real til my baby is in my arms. I can feel him moving around, I've got his nursery ready, all his little clothes washed, everything is ready, but because I never thought I'd have a baby its very hard to get my head round it. I just need my baby in my arms, and hopefully it wont be long cos I'm due today.

As long as he gets here safe I don't care. More than my angel got.

It's starting to feel more real as I get closer, but yeah, I still find it hard to get my head around the idea that there's a baby growing inside me. I spent ages not feeling pregnant at all this pregnancy, which I think was a self-preservation thing as I spent so long being absolutely terrified that something would go wrong.

I'm still kinda not counting my chickens, iykwim... I'm finally beginning to think about getting things fully prepared but there's no way I'll put up the cot before I'm home with her.

still doesn't feel real to me either hun don't think it does to my OH either..only reason it does is cuz I'm suffering from PGP and am being kicked pretty much 24/7 by the little guy hehe

I know how you feel! When I was going though all my MCs I had fully convinced myself that I would never have another baby.. and even now that I have a massive bump, that moves around constantly, with a crib all set up next to my bed and a wardrobe full of little pink babygows.. I still cant get my head to believe I'm actually gunna have a baby in a few weeks!!

You are not alone hun....I dont know if having a m/c first for me has anything to do with it but like you, a sizeable bump, being kicked etc...but does not feel real even at 39 weeks. I dont think it will sink in till I see her and now i am full of anxiety, will she be okay and formed ok and healthy? I think these are normal fears! We will soon get a wake up call hun when our babies are in our arms! xx
