Anyone else feel like it's really unreal?

I'm going through this weird feeling right now. I have gotten all this stuff for the baby- swing, car seat, stroller, bed... I see cute outfits and baby stuff and I go "awwwwwwww" and get excited about getting things for the baby. I feel him move and I talk to him and I already feel attached to him and if anything happened to him...omg I think I'd die, I don't even want to think about it. I come on here every day and read about pregnancy and talk about pregnancy and answer questions and ask questions... It's like my life revolves around being pregnant.

But it is like my brain just can't wrap itself around the idea I'm having a baby. I don't remember feeling this way when I was so young and having my twin girls. And I don't remember feeling this way a few years later having my son. But my "baby" is 9 years old now. Is it just because it's been so long since I had a baby? Is it normal? Will it feel more real when I get closer to my due date? I'm 28 weeks in a couple days.

I see babies in stores and I think how cute they are, but I just can't picture myself holding one and feeding one and taking care of one and putting those tiny little outfits on him...

Other people feel this way?

    I'm not pregnant but yes that's a very common thing to experience during pregnancy. Don't worry, when the baby is born it will all be real and I bet your glad that your other kids are older so they can help you more. It will be a big help.

    i feel that way and im getting induced tomorrow it makes me wonder if it will finally feel real when i bring him home, or on the otherhand im worried it will feel real in the hospital tomorrow and make everything worse because it really should have hit my by now

  • thats how i felt for a while when i was pregnant but once i held him it was like OMG WOW but please dont forget if u still have these feelings after he is born to talk to someone about it POST PARTUM is a very common issue and dont be afraid :-) good luck and happy making
