Anyone else?

I’m a ftm and my little girl is 6 months old but I still have the odd day where I look at her and can’t believe she is mine and is here to stay… I love her more than anything but sometimes even question whether I’m capable of protecting her against whatever life brings for the rest of her life, becoming a mum has just been such a surreal experience and I feel like I have some kind of imposter syndrome, and now she’s 6 months I’m just feeling like it’s all happening so quickly I can’t keep up with how much has changed since I fell pregnant with her, I’m putting this down to how big the change is and hopefully time will get me use to this feeling 😩

I feel the same way! This is a love I never knew I needed ☺️

My kid is over a year old and I still feel the same way. Just wow. He was a little potato but hes turning more and more human every day. He's almost walking, he's got about a dozen words, and I still can't believe he's mine and I get to keep him, and my heart melts every time I hear him call me mama.

Same! I was literally crying the other day because my daughter turned 6 months on the 1st and it's like it all flew by without me realizing and sometimes I convince myself that it feels that way because I wasn't present enough during that time, even though realistically I know I was as present as I could be dealing with the mental load and being the only one taking care of her. Plus I feel like every time I start getting used to the guidelines for her age, they all the sudden change because she's older, especially the wake windows omg

Pro tip: stay away from those videos with the ABBA/Mamma MIA audio in them “slipping through my fingers all the time” because every time I hear that it’s instant tears 😭😭😭

Always loved that movie but now I have a daughter too it sets me offff 😭😩🤣

I feel the same ❤️ imposter syndrome like how is this girl my daughter? After wanting her for so long I can’t believe it’s real and I can’t believe I’m a mom. Just trying each day to keep her healthy and safe and trying to take it day by day. But thinking into the future is scary sometimes. Just so grateful for each moment with her.

Me too 🥹🥹

I thought I was the only one that felt like this , sometimes I feel like I need to be pinched. I can’t believe this is my reality and I can’t believe that I’m actually doing a good job. My son is 5 months and he is healthy, thriving and loving life. I just feel so blessed to be his mom 🥹

Thank you for your comments ladies, I honestly thought this wasn’t a normal feeling this far postpartum and that I should be use to having her here by now but after seeing your words I’ve realised I’ve been looking at it the wrong way and how much of a blessing this whole process is, feel like I’ve been in survival mode for so long I’m constantly on edge and questioning my actions day in day out but I’m hoping that side starts to calm down as I appreciate and look positively into the future 🥰

I'm nearly 3 years into motherhood & some days I still can't believe that my little boy is mine. I feel like I'm just looking after him some days & waiting for him to be picked up by his real parents, which I know sounds strange.
