I'm 5 months pregnant and been going through an emotional rollar coaster. I don't feel any emotional attachment to the baby. Is this normal and will it go away. I feel so bad.

I'd say it's very normal. I'm 29 weeks and I'm getting to the point where it's not very exciting anymore, I'm tired of being pregnant, I want your body back, stuff like that. I'm terrified of having a baby (this is my first), and my fiance and I tried to get pregnant. I feel unattached at times because of all that, but when I think about holding my little boy once he gets here I feel better.

I've always wanted kids. I guess it happen unexpectedl. Sometimes I feel depressed but I felt like that before I became pregnant.

Were u wanting to be pregnant?  Do u have fears about having a baby? Im 30 weeks and im still feeling unattached at times. Im 24 and i have no family where i live and my husband works a TON of hours and its really hard with kids. I never get good sleep with the 2 kids i have now and by adding a 3rd i know im going to be exhausted!  I think its totally normal and once u give birth your gonna be in love! Do u feel any type of depression?
