I feel guilty for hating my growing twin bump and the image that’s staring me back in the mirror at the minute. I didn’t feel like this with my DS aged 5. I was trying ttc for 2 years with him and I was so grateful to be pregnant my changing body didn’t bother me one bit. This pregnancy happened first month of using no contraception (different partner) so as much as I want and love the babies I just can’t seem to get my head around it this time.

Yes, I feel similarly.
My body has changed massively, but I have spd, so my mobility has. So I keep crying because I feel awful, but have no lovely bump or kicking.
I feel guilty, and keep getting really angry at the baby, but then myself because I have nobody to be angry at.

I felt like this a bit. I hated how everything changed. Hated not being able to sleep. Hated having to give up hobbies eventually.

Now ds is here and is 2 weeks old I can’t inagine how I hated it. I just love him so so much. May be sitting watching strictly feeding him and also having a cry.

I'm 21 and 5 with my first and although I've always looked forward to being a mum now that it's happening I just don't feel any of the joy other pregnant ladies feel, don't get me wrong sometimes I'll look at my bump and have a second of connection and happiness but I just feel so guilty that I'm happy I lost so much weight in the first few weeks due to sickness.
