First time pregnant find it hard to believe, Did anyone feel the same way?

[Holly34]

Ok so 6 weeks to go not very long at all. Why do I feel like this? Hard to explain what I feel (I am creating a real human in there). Sometimes I think is it really happening? No! yes?!

Have any first time mums felt the same or even second / third time mums?

I'm currently 28 weeks & finding it difficult to believe that it's really happening! That there's a baby in there. I can't really see beyond that although we've got pretty much everything that we need but it's still really surreal.

Yup, I felt like this all the way through with my DD. She only happened after nine years and had put babies out of our heads entirely. I remember doing the test purely for the purposes of ruling it out before ringing the docs. When I saw a pink line, I put it back down, made a coffee and had to check again in case I was seeing things!

It was the most surreal experience I've ever had and didn't completely get my head around it until she came out.

So glad to know this! Honestly I was afraid So I will have to wait until the baby arrives then!

Also finding it hard to believe. We took 18 months to concieve so it was a big shock. Am 9 weeks now and the scan can't come round quick enough as I still can't believe it till I see something

My children are teenagers and I am still a bit bemused by it all. Can't believe that I am trusted with two humans

Dd is 1 and I still find it hard to believe I carried her around in my tummy for 9 whole months and it was her kicking punching me etc I think pregnancy labour and the first few weeks with a new born are so surreal but enjoy it it passes by in a blink

Took just over a year to conceive and did several tests and still didn't believe it. The scans and heartbeat checks really brought it home; i burst into happy tears at my 12 weeks. And now the regular wiggling makes it feel a bit more real ;)

I'm totally with you, it all seems totally surreal.....

I am 36 weeks tomorrow and still in utter disbelief that there will be a real baby very soon!!

[GoApeShit]

I'm also 36 weeks tomorrow. Third pregnancy. I have one DS. Still doesn't seem real, and it won't until I have a tiny, screaming pink bundle in my arms.

I'm 23 weeks now, still doesn't seem real. Even through being sick non stop and all the other crap that comes with it, I just think to myself that I have food poisoning or something haha. I don't think I'll believe it's true until I actually see the baby.
Having said that, with some of my friends kids who are 10-14, I say to my friends sometimes "wow I still can't believe you're a mum sometimes!" and they always say they can't believe it either and it's strange. So I think sometimes, people just feel like that forever.

I'm 22 weeks with number 3. Very lucky.
And I'm in denial. Much wanted baby so I don't understand it. It feels v odd

[Mulligrubs]

With both of my pregnancies I was genuinely shocked to see a baby on the screen it just didn't feel real, even the second time around. Then once the baby is born I was in shock again - 1. That my body grew these perfect humans and 2. That they ever fitted in my body! Totally normal to feel a bit weird OP my second is 9 weeks old and I still can't believe she's here!

[Mulligrubs]

I should say - I was shocked to see a baby on the screen at the first scans, obviously! I was in a bizarre state of denial all the way through!
