I don't know if I love my baby

I really don't know who my baby daddy is.. its between my last 2 x's but I'm pretty sure it's my last ex's tho, abt 2 years ago I lost a important person in my life, since then I changed a lot its like I don't have feelings Nothing will make me sad or feel sorry for other ppl. I feel heartless. sometimes I get excited but I don't feel a strong connection with the baby. I'm scared when the baby comes I don't know If I'm going to love him. I hate my self for feeling this way but I can't help it.

If ypu still have these feelings after he is born talk to your Dr. You will probably love him when he is born but just in case you dont know ur not a bad mom. Just some disconnection issues. Its gonna be ok!!

You need to talk to someone, like a counselor/therapist. You could very well be depressed and that's not good for you or baby. Don't feel bad or hate yourself people deal with lost differently. I hope everything works out for you.

You will love that baby. When he is born there will be no question about it. When i was preg with my second daughter, i was not happy with my now ex. Her father. I was packing to leave him when i found out i was preg. After i found out, i hated him for getting me preg. I thought it was for him to trap me. I was depressed my whole pregnancy and threatened suicide the whole time. I felt no connection to her. I didnt love her until she was in my arms.
You will feel different when he is here.

You will love him.  I don't feel that connection to my baby either but I know that if anyone tries to hurt or do something to someone that was once a part of me then if will hurt them.  And if you hate yourself t for thinking you don't love him then of course you do love him or else you just wouldn't care.  It just sounds like it's going to take time for you to realize it.
