Feeling Disconnected 86

I can completely relate. I'm almost 22 weeks. This is my first pregnancy. I have only felt minor movements, nothing to get too excited about. Everyday my husband comes home and says, "So, what do you think". I say, "About what?". He states "About you, me, and the baby."

I feel bad because I don't think about the baby at all other than the fact that my body is changing. I think a ton about my future including clbuttes I'll teach, methods I'll use; selling my home so I can get a bigger yard; what I want to plant in the garden this year....all kinds of things.

But I'm disconnected from this creature inside me. I'm doing everything right that I can think of eating and reading etc., but I just don't feel excited.

Unlike most, I won't be getting an ultrasound unless there is a cause for concern. Something both myself and my midwife agree on. In a way I regret the decision because I think seeing the baby on the screen would help.

I've also had two miscarriages. I was excited about those pregnancies and hope they haven't psychologically tainted this experience.

Nice to know I'm not alone in my detached thoughts.

Thanks Lisa.
