Why

I’ve got a 5 month old baby and it still doesn’t feel real that I’m a mum and it’s weird when I say something to my son like - mummy’s going to go make you a bottle now baby. Does any other women feel like this ?

I do. I love him with all my heart. I don't know how to explain this. I guess I always assumed that once a woman becomes a mother she turns into a different person and I feel the same inside I just gave birth. I mean I love a new person it's just that 'me' didn't change. If you know what I mean. And I probably still didn't fully comprehend that I truly grew a human being in my body 🤣😂 Hahaha I guess it takes time for me. I feel a Mum but it doesn't feel real like you described.

Yes and it gets weirder I have a 2.5 year old that calls me mum and I have to remind myself that’s me that he is talking to lol x

@Veronica I find it very odd , maybe it’s because I’m a first time mum , a little bit shocked I’m finally a mum I don’t know Yeah I get you on that one, sometimes I think it’s because I had a c section but I don’t know

I'm also a ftm and also had a c section

Yeh I’m exactly the same! First time mum and sometimes I say (and genuinely mean it) I can’t believe I was pregnant never mind a mum! I feel like all my pregnancy it never sunk in and it still hasn’t 😂 It’s so hard to explain x

I’m exactly the same! When I go to the pharmacy to pick up my little girl’s gaviscon and say ‘I’m here for my daughter’s prescription’, it still feels really odd!!

Yes I feel the same, I assumed it was because I had a c section but I guess it’s quite common x

Me too. I've got two boys, 4 years and a nearly 5 month old and it still feels so surreal sometimes that I'm their mum and I'm actually responsible for them x

Omg yess everyday

@Veronica strong mamas we all are c section mamas or natural birth mamas

I had the doctors ring me to talk about my 2.5 year old and they started with “Hello, are you Violets mum?” I just replied with “huh no?” And then kicked in that yes I am a mum and that is my kid 😂 don’t feel like it ever sinks in!

Yes the same! Also first time mum and c section

I'm a Mum of two and it still doesn't feel real that I'm a Mum 2 c sections / two years down the line now 🤣

Yeah same here, still don't believe it even though I clearly have a baby girl. I dream about going girl shopping with her, and maybe then it'll feel real 😂
