Hi, please no judgement, I feel awful as it is.
I'm 13 weeks pregnant, and I'm not excited or happy at all about my baby, I thought at first it was because I've had previous miscarriages from a long later relationship, we broke up and I started seeing a lad, anyway after 3 weeks mistakenly fell pregnant. Since the start I tried breaking up with the lad and told him I didn't want his child, he managed to convince me to keep it, anyway after another few weeks I left him completely. I thought after the dating scan I'd feel more happy about the baby, as the pregnancy was at less risk of miscarrying- I didn't. I had the dating scan 4 days ago and I felt nothing. The baby was swallowing, moving, jumping and still I felt so happiness or excitement. I have 3 older children and I have NEVER felt like this when pregnant. The doctor has put me on antidepressants for two weeks and then if I feel the same we will explore other routes. Am I depressed or do I genuinely hate this baby? Cos I feel I do. I feel terrible. Please no judgment I mentally cannot handle it.
