delayed happiness

[Ree1630]

Just found out I'm 7 wks and i feel i should be happy and should start to tell immediate family and my partner, but for some reason I don't want to and I'm keeping it to myself. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel overwhelmed somehow and not sure how to handle things. I just can't feel the excitement

I felt overwhelmed and sad and surreal about it for the first few months. Its a huge life change. Everyone is different. I started warming up to it all after I could feel her and see her, and after the first trimester feeling like crap part went away. You may feel better about it the further along you get, or after delivery. Nothing wrong with experiencing a variety of emotions or being anxious or unsure.

That's how I felt with my 1st pregnancy.  I actually broke down and cried.  It's a big change.  But when you have it, you will have so much emotion. I can't imagine life without my daughter.

It's very easy to feel overwhelmed as having a baby is a massive change to your life & major responsibility right from the word go! But it can change, you may not feel this way your whole 9 months/40 weeks.
I hope you have a good pregnancy & that you won't feel so apprehensive about the whole situation. X

Hey there! Going through the samething here. Im 7 weeks too. Everyone is excited and happy and i just dont feel it yet. Doesnt feel real to me. I was told i couldnt have my own and i was really ok with that. I dont want stretch marks or birth. Hoping that i change how i feel because i dont want yo be one of those moms that resent their kid.
