lost excitement - is this normal?

[beginnersluck]

I'm 32wks and although it was planned and everything is fine, I've lost all interest and excitement in the pregnancy and I'm not looking forward to having a baby or anything.

Is this normal - can anyone reassure me?

Im not excited, I mean I've been pregnant for what seems like forever. Im tired, heavy and achey.

When the babies out and about Im sure it will be great, but atm its hard feeling excited about something that big comming out of my lady parts.

Hi OP - that sounds a little like me, I'm 34w . I know deep down I am excited but I get so carried away with all the other things to think about that I just feel a bit... 'meh' about it all sometimes. I definitely agree with crosshair though - at this stage pregnancy does feel as though its gone on for bloody ever and, oh my god yes, the thought of the labour that I'll have to go through first to get the baby is not something I'm excited about.

I've not worried about how I feel too much as I've had a lot on, been buying a house, living in friends' spare rooms etc for the past 2 months and so I think, rationally, that I am just stressed and overwhelmed by everything (and also upset that I'm not having the relaxing 'enjoyable' pregnancy I imagined I would have) but I am trying consciously to be aware of how I am feeling. At the end of the day there is a chance that this could be antenatal depression. If I were you I would just keep an eye on myself, maybe there is a close friend or family member you could tell so that they can keep an eye on you too? (I know my DP is a little wary of my mood, he actually asked the other day if I was "happy"!!) But pg is long, and uncomfortable, and there are so many hormones... Lets just say you're not the only one feeling like this, and well done to you to being prepared to talk about it!
