I forget, all the time, as I go about my everyday life, and I haven't really spent any time thinking about the new baby or how things will be. What will change etc.
Am I absolutely weird? When I had my last scan I saw the face and thought "Oh yes, a real person!" but I sort of get the impression everyone else pregnant is singing to their bump all day long. I don't feel anything negative towards the baby at all, I just forget to think about it!
Keep feeling half surprised when it kicks me and reminds me it is there. Blush

I'm same as Lucy, I can't ignore my pregnancy as I've been so sick, tired, had slight SPD and now have a prolapsed vagina!
I do feel guilty sometimes that although I occasionally talk to my bump I don't sing!

My first pregnancy I felt exactly the same as normal (after some sickness for first 3 months) but with a bit of a bigger tummy. I had no concept of what having a newborn would be like and it just didn't seem real to me. It is hard to imagine a "real person" in there imo.

This time around it has been weighing on my mind more as I have felt so crap all the way through! Plus I know what's coming so I am very excited for the next bit Grin

At first I didn't think about it all the time. Now my baby is always moving, I can't help but think about it. But then, when I'm at work I'm easily caught up in what I'm doing and don't think about it. Don't worry about it :-) different strokes for different folks and all that x

I sat through my entire first pregnancy singing to baby, thinking about nursery themes and baby clothes but this time round I have a 4 year old and I do forget from time to time (I'm almost 6 months and pretty big so it's not like you can't tell yet lol)

Don't worry about it, life is hectic sometimes and once baby is here he/she most definitely won't let you forget about him/ her lol
