loss of identity and shock

Hi ladies 🤰🏻 Hope you’re all well For the last few weeks I’ve been having this weird emotion / feeling I think as the days are getting closer now for me meeting my baby girl It’s getting more intense A feeling of like loss of identity not knowing who I am anymore And then the shock of me actually becoming a mother and being responsible for this human for the rest of my life. Like I don’t know how to explain it 🥲I hope someone on here understands this feeling Also a bit scared too 🫣 Anyone else feel this way too?

This is totally normal! And you may also feel this more intensely once baby is here - I certainly did. It's the most amazing experience but also the hardest rollercoaster. I've found that I just let myself feel the feelings and then I can embrace the change x

Like Emma said. It’s totally normal. Especially when it’s your first and it’s the unknown and the anxiety is there. I’m still feeling the same and I’m having my 3rd! But it’s amazing as well once you hold your baby in your arms everything will fall into place and make sense and nothing around you will matter.

I had my little boy 9 weeks ago and I have had this! It’s almost like I’m not ME anymore, just a mother? But that is fading and I am feeling more like me now than when he was first born x

Very normal! Happens to ten most of us. I’m here to help, if you need a helping hand to figure this out, talk through. It’s what I specialise in as a birth and postpartum mindset coach. Message me and I’m happy to reach out
