I feel the same way, I tried for a year to get pregnant and now that I finally am, I find myself scared. With my first I wasnt scared at all, but now that this is my 2nd I am scared I wont be able to care for another one.A Couple days ago I actually thought about abortion! I would never have an abortion but that is how emotional I get over this. It varies from day to day. Sometimes you are happy and sometimes you feel down in the dumps.It's normal. Good luck!

Everyone feels a little worried and scared about being pregnant. And the hormones don't help! If it is just a passing feeling, and you are not overwhelmed by it, know that it is just a normal reaction to a life changing event. If you find that you feel really upset or can't seem to be happy about having a baby, you may want to seek out a therapist to help you deal with your situation. This is something you want to work on before the baby comes! I hope you are blessed with a wonderful pregnancy and experience the joy that only motherhood can bring. Good luck and God Bless!

First off how far along are you? I think you could just be scared of the life changes and I think that's perfectly normal during pregnancy. Also the major shift in horrmones causes all kinds of thoughts to overwhelm us at times. I would just suggest that when you do start to feel that way just do somethings that would normally calm you down. Call a friend? Take a bath? Although not one to hot or go for a walk if you like scenary. Trust me in the end it's all worth the while!!!!

I had that feeling at about 6 months pregnant and I'm full term now and still feeling that way. It really depends on what is going on in your life. I have had severe depression during this pregnancy and have been taking enough Lexapro to tranquilize an elephant. It still doesn't change the fact that I don't want to be pregnant. Even worse, I don't want to have a kid. I'm sure my mind will change when he comes out and I will fall in love with him. I feel guilty for even writing this because it makes me feel like a terrible person, but if you need to get help then it is out there and these feelings are not that uncommon.

This is a pretty normal thing. Not only is having a child a major life change, it might be scary and daunting if it's your first. You also have a ton of hormonal changes going on right now. I remember when I was pregnant, I had the WORST mood swings. It's totally normal and I'm sure that tomorrow (or an hour from now), you'll be happy and laughing.
If you are feeling down and can't shake it, please speak with your OB/GYN or midwife and tell him/her what's going on.
Good luck and take care.

I believe that it is, especially if there is something going on in your life that causes you to doubt it. Also, things are changing...like your hormones...sometime you'll want to cry and then laugh the next minute. It is difficult to think that in a few months you will have a human being to take care...but don't worry people do it everyday, you will be fine. It is a great and wonderful thing. Just relax, and if the feeling continues...talk to someone [Partner, mom, counselor] and get some help on what to do about it. I am wishing you the best and hope all goes well.

I know its normal to be close to the end of the pregnancy ( around month 7 or 8, even 9) to feel this way, but I don't know how far along you are. Anyhow, it's always normal to have a slight change of heart in any situation, you are only human, but when this happens just weigh your pros with your cons
Hope this makes you feel better

It is normal and the feeling will pass. Your life is going to change a lot with a baby. You'll feel like your heart is walking around outside your body with her/him. It makes you vulnerable and strong. It makes you look at the world differently. Pregnancy is an amazing thing. Plus your hormones are all out of whack and you're going to be feeling and thinking things you never thought posssible.
Congratulations and good luck!!

It is normal considering you now know it's really happening and so much in your life will have to change for this baby.
You need to figure out what you really want and look into all the options, if your change of heart continues i would talk to a professional that can help you through this. Stressing yourself out is not good for the baby.

How far along are you in your pregnancy? Is this your first baby? Are you in a secure relationship? These things can all affect how you feel. Alot of times the closer you are to labour the more you will want to change your mind (altho, I warn you, it's far too late :) ). Pregnancy hormones do wicked things to us women so I would say it is normal (I have to say that otherwise it would mean I was abnormal also). It is a huge lifestyle change. You will always be a parent from now on and have someone to worry about and to answer to. I personally, wouldn't change a thing about having any of my children (and not one of mine were 'planned')
Don't worry. Enjoy your pregnancy and things will start to feel better and you will feel better about yourself!
Congrats and good luck!
