Feeling detached/numb

[yummytum]

Hi, I'm 7 weeks pregnant and for the last 2 weeks I've felt numb.

I don't feel low in mood, but all I can describe it as is NO motivation to do anything (I'm usually very proactive!). And I just feel numb. Like my connection for people has gone

DS is sitting with me right now (he's 4), and I feel nothing but complete indifference and detachment from him. Can't be bothered with him. He's off nursery today and I'm dreading having to actually be with him. Don't know where these lack of feelings have come from, believe me, he's usually the light of my life

What on earth is this?! It's unbearable. I've never felt like this before beyond when pregnant - When I had DD I felt like this from about 7 weeks to 12 weeks. Then vanished. It's like being in a little bubble and wanting to scream for it to pop so I can feel again. It feels like someone has taken my emotions and turned me into a robot

Any ideas if this is a bout of hormones doing this?

I had the exact same thing around the weeks you're talking about. It really is like an emotional numbness like 0 motivation to move or speak or do anything even things I enjoyed doing. I put it down to hormones too.

All I can say is that its the hormones talking not you. You will snap out of it again. Don't be too hard on yourself :)
