Scan
Hi ladies,
This might sound really strange but Ive got my 20week scan tomorrow at 11.30am, my OH is taking day off work to come with me and he is really excited, but I'm just not syked. I have no idea why im not looking 4ward to it its just not phasing me in the least. OH said its because we are not finding out the sex this time, but I feel really guilty every time my baby kicks or moves that im just not excited about it. I didnt feel like this in last pregnancy and im worried if these lack of feelings continue im not gona bond very well wen the baby is born. Any advise welcome, has anyone else felt like this?

I really wouldn't worry too much about it, you might feel different when you see lo on the screen, but even if you don't I am sure that once you get to hold the baby for the first time you will wonder why you ever felt concerned. The more you worry now about whether your feelings are right, the more stressed you will get about it- try to relax and let the feelings come when they're ready (easier said than done I know).
Also, just want to say that when I had my first scan (an early scan at 6 weeks) my husband was really chuffed at seeing a heartbeat, whereas I was pleased that everything was ok but really didn't feel an emotional connection. I have occasionally worried that I won't love the baby, I think this is something that lots of women have from time to time. I am sure you will be just fine!
