Signs of postpartum? ?

I haven't yet had my baby but I feel awful this is my third and feel like I'm so cold hearted and so unattached to her. Yes it has been stressful pregnancy but nothing a baby should pay for I love her and get excited for  ultrasound but feel empty emotion wise ...before people start judging sorry for the ones who read and really want children and are having issues..

Glad to know other people feel the way I do I'm 25 weeks today.. I don't want to have her and no enjoy the moments with her because I have postpartum and feel like my mid wife is just oh okay then that's it

I've been like that with my pregnancy also especially in the beginning. I felt no emotional attachment at all in the beginning. This is my second and I asked my midwife why was I feeling this way and she said that its probably because you've already been through a pregnancy before so you already know what to expect. I'm 26 weeks now and I just started feeling excited a few weeks ago about my baby girl coming. Don't feel bad, I'm sure after you have her she'll melt your heart!

Perhaps it's because she is your third and while you know you are pregnant, love her, and anticipate hearing and seeing her you ate busy with your other two to bond as thoroughly as you did previous pregnancies. This too is my third and though i love my daughter and can't wait to hold her and kiss her and love her even more than i do now some days, if it wasn't for my belly, i almost forgery I'm pregnant. Between my two boys, work, being on the parent board at my sons preschool and caring for a home days pass very quickly.
