Hello. I'm new to mumsnet & hoping that someone out there feels similar or can at least relate to my current situation. I am 20 weeks pregnant and the whole thing came as a massive shock. My husband is over the moon and whilst we were thinking about starting a family in the next year or so i'm not sure i'm ready for such a massive change. I'm really hoping my feelings will change in the next 20 weeks. I've never been very maternal and if a child is screaming on my train I will move carriages asap. My mums & friends say that when it is your own it's completley different and i'm praying this is the case as would hate to bring a child into the world without being 100% loving towards them. I felt my baby move for the first time properly this morning whilst in bed and the experience was quiet disconcerting. I was hoping when this happened I would feel a sense of bonding but it had the opposite effect and i'm feeling quite out of my depth.
