Struggle to get excited
Hey all, I would never say I am depressed as such, I’ve never been to see anyone or felt so low to be concerned but outside of work, I’m really lazy, and never what anything for myself.
I have never been one big on showing emotions, and although I’d be nervous on my own wedding day I don’t think I’d be overly excited for it. I’d probably be worrying more about what people think of me.
I am pregnant with our second child, and I just feel “meh”. Not excited, but not worried. Is this normal? Am I selfish? I really don’t know
I felt the same with my little girl. I had no emotions. I didn't have any connection to her either. I felt nothing but ill. I had what can only be described as pre pre-eclampsia so I had loads of tests thought my pregnancy and extra hospital visits as she was measuring really small too. I saw the perinatal team to help me manage my emotions and build a connection with her before and after she was born. She's now 8 months old and I've been discharged from their care since October. While seeing them (and even my midwife) said some women never feel any connection during their pregnancy nor do they get the other whelming love as soon as baby is born. Some times you need to give it time to feel any type of connection. It's not selfish and can be completely normal. If you're really worried I'd reach out to your care team for help.
