Has anyone else felt like this? I have spent the last nine months in denial really, and I don't know how to focus on the fact that we are having a baby next week. I am still working - in fact, I suspect I've been hiding behind my work so I don't have to think about it. But as that comes to an end, I realise I seem unable to be excited, or broody, or anything really. I know I will love the baby, (I have one DD), but I feel nothing at all yet - not even excitement at the prospect of meeting it. I was a bit the same last time, but I didn't feel as numb as I do this time. Is this a problem? How do I make myself feel anything about this? Both pregnancies have been accidental - I don't know if this has made a difference. I love my antenatal thread, but at the moment it seems to show how differently I feel from everyone else, who naturally want to see meet their babies.
