Hi all, I just wondered if anyone else felt the same as me - please say that someone does!! I am 32 weeks, first baby, and I just am so scared that when i give birth, i wont feel the instant rush of love that people talk about, and that this will lead to pnd... I havent had that good a pg, hence not posting on here since morning sickness stage! And i feel so guilty about having these feelings.
I have no experience of babies and im just thinking maybe i can't handle it and it wont come naturally to me and that tbe baby will know and will hate me! I am so paranoid. I am known to be a bit of a perfectionist, and want to do everything to the best that i can, but i feel overwhelmed by this massive responsibility that is coming at me! I feel so bad, as this was a planned pg, and everyone else is over the moon about it, please help....
