Hi everyone. Can anyone help me? Im pregnant with my first child, and although I'm overwhelmed with joy to be a new mummy, I get so down. I start to doubt wether I really want her or I'm in love with the idea of having a baby. I'm not very maternal. My other half hasn't always been supportive of the idea and I feel as though I'm going to let my baby down by bringing her into the world without 100% feeling like I want her. I'm not sure wether my other halfs negativity and pushy abortion talks have broken the bond between me and my baby. I'm always crying when I'm on my own. I constantly feel sad. I try to put on a brave face for everyone that's talking baby but I get scared every time I have a scan. Has anyone else felt this. I have no one to turn to regarding my feelings, and I'm scared the midwife will be like oh just get over it. I'm terrified and I don't know what to do? can anyone help? :(
