Weirded out by pregnancy - reassurance please!

Just sounding off, really. I am 23 weeks and really starting to show now, and I am scared of it. It's an odd thing, but I just caught sight of myself in the mirror getting out of the bath and thought "WHOH there! That looks WEIRD!"

It doesn't hugely distress me, and it's a fairly trouble-free pregnancy (not my first either) so I don't have anything unexpected or new going on. It's more a feeling of the whole process being a bit weird and wanting to get it overwith.

I expect this is pretty normal, and I do have my "Wow I'm pregnant!" moments too, but I could just do with a spot of reassurance that everyone else isn't glowing with confidence, doing yoga by candlelight and lovingly playing Chopin to their bump.

To avoid drip-feeding, background is I have one DD aged 6 and one MC at 16 weeks years ago - think I have always felt this way about pregnancy though from the moment I first conceived. Not really scared of miscarrying any more as the baby's nearly viable now, so it's an odd feeling.

Pregnancy should be renamed oddfeelings r US. Not glowing with confidence, no yoga, not full of the joys of spring either.

I am overjoyed to be pregnant with my second but just feel "just there". You are not alone
