am I a bad person?

I'm so miserable with this pregnancy.. I can't even get excited.. I'm only 15 weeks and I'm already having so many problems.. from contractions to pelvic pain to bleeding.. I'm on bed rest and I just feel awful.. I had my son at 33 weeks and I started active labor at 20 weeks with him... but I can't help not getting excited about this baby.. I feel like I'm going to have another rough pregnancy and it makes me miserable... how do I cope with this? I feel like a bad person because I'm not excited for my baby to be here because of all the problems I'm already having.. :/

I was very ill at first and still am. I rarely get excited. Try looking at baby clothes, even though its early, you don't have to buy anything. Spend time with your first and remember all the good times. And also not being excited doesn't mean you aren't happy.

Don't worry, you are just human! I haven't had anything too major (just a couple fainting spells, a car accident and this weeks new adventure... Eczema and horrific back pain) and when my Aunt said to me"isn't pregnancy wonderful??" I said no! Haha I love thatmy little man is growing and healthy but I personally just don't enjoy being pregnant.

Honey please do not feel bad. I have been through a lot with my pregnancy and it really has been miserable a lot. Do not blame yourself because you cannot control your emotions. Talking to nonjudgemental people should help you significantly
