My due date is approaching fast (one week) and I find myself getting increasingly nervous. People keep asking me if I'm excited, and I feel terrible for even writing this, but I'm not. I don't really feel any maternal connection to this baby like I did with my daughter. It's my second child and I have an idea of what to expect during the delivery, etc. I think I'm also nervous because I have final exams scheduled for school in the last week of my pregnancy and I'm nervous about taking those. I also know that the second he is born, a barrage of legal battles will begin with my ex which I am not looking forward to. He has honestly ruined this entire pregnancy for me. I know once this kid comes out, I'm going to love it and work really hard at being a good mom. I'm just really sad that I feel this way.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on ways to get excited about having this child. No abusive answers please.
