Is it normal to want your baby all to yourself when they are born?

Im currently pregnant in my third trimester.. I have mostly felt alone/ not interested in most ppl energy. Is it normal to feel like when I give birth I just want to enjoy her and not have ppl all over her.

How do you fight the loneliness/sadness?

Feeling lonely? Read this…

I read to escape reality and to feel a sense of accomplishment. Being a mom, I should already feel accomplishment but I always strive to do above and beyond for my kids and it’s impossible so I never felt any satisfaction with being a mom.
