I'm 13 weeks today, and I still don't feel any sort of connection to my pregnancy. I don't feel like I'm really pregnant - I just feel like it's some words that I say, or a maybe a new hobby that I've taken up (reading about pregnancy). I am dealing with untreated (at the moment, because I stopped my medications when I found out I was pregnant)

What you're feeling is normal. :)

With my first, even as I grew larger and felt the baby move, the reality of a baby didn't really sink in. The reality of birth did... I was preparing for the birth, etc. as though it was the end-game event, lol.

The moment it dawned on me I had a baby was when she was born. I'll never forget when I realized omg this is real... this is really, real!... it was the evening after she was born and I was still trying to get her to nurse, thinking omg this is a person and people have to eat! I have to feed her and get her to eat! What if she doesn't eat, omg! She's a real baby and she has to eat!

Yes, my big moment of realization came when it dawned on me that babies have to eat, lol! XD

It'll all fall into place, don't worry too much about it. :)

I'm due any day now and i still don't feel attached or like it's real at all. I've heard from many other people that for some it just doesn't happen for a while, sometimes not even at the birth.

I'm also unmedicated w/ depression& anxiety(though it's manageable most of the time) as well.. so i dunno. I'm not worried, though. I know it will come in time :)

I felt the same way at 13 weeks, even now, at 22 weeks, sometimes I feel that way, but now that she's moving around all day long, I feel like I'm getting to know her. She kicks me when I'm waking up in the morning and that makes me feel like she's trying to communicate with me, like "mom time to get up!" It's the little things like that which make me feel closer to my pregnancy. It'll happen, don't worry. :)

I am at 20 weeks and sometimes still find it hard. It's easier when I feel her moving, but even when she was moving onthe u/s I couldn't feel her and it was so crazy to think this little being was moving around inside of me and I had no idea. It takes time. I have known some women who weren't attached until weeks after their baby arrived. It all depends on the person I think.

I am pregnant with my first. I felt the same way you do. I could not get past the fact that I was actually pregnant. It just felt like something I would say and it was not real. I am 25 weeks now and starting to show. I finally hav the full effect of being pregnant with him kicking the crap out of me and my growing belly. So I would say around week 22 I reLly started feeling pregnant. That's when I starte showing.
