HI IM's,
Im currently 6 months pregnant with my 4th, i have a wonderful partner and 3 great kids, the problem is i dont feel any sort or attachment or affection for the bub im carrying. I feel like im just going through the motions of all the baby shopping dr appts etc but in no way feel excited about when bub is here. My other pregnancies were stress full ( was in a DV situation) But my partner now is great, he wants to help with everything, be involved with everything but im shutting him out of doing that as well. He has also said that since i became pregnant im a bah humbug, i dont find anything funny anymore, all i want to do is stay at home, cry over the stupidest things
Dont really know what im asking just wanting to know that im not alone in feeling like this

You're absolutely not alone!!! I was the same with my last pregnancy after a great one before that. I didn't feel attached to the baby at all, just felt uncomfortable, sick and generally inconvenienced. I had PND after bub was born but I also absolutely adored my little one as soon as I lay eyes on her. I think now it was the beginnings if that.
Best wishes. I'm sure you'll feel better when you have your babe in your arms and you realise you new partner is a great dad and there's nothing to worry about.
Please speak to your GP
don't think you SHOULD feel an attachments, everyone is different I felt no attachment whatsoever for the whole nine months. I don't really struggle with my miscarraiges cos i don't feel like its a lost baby. i just don't get attached to pregnancy. HOWVER my last pregnancy (iv had 4) I misscarried but did feel more attached on this one! everyone is deferent! sometimes iv been really emotional and all over the place. other times i wouldn't have even known i was pregnant if it weren't for the waterelon!
try not to read into it too much
This is quite common and nothing to feel guilty or worry about. I didn't feel any attachment with my son at all during my pregnancy. Then when I saw him when he was born I was so in love! And still am, no pnd. It's very natural for some x
