We are genetically programmed to care for and love our babies. I don't think I've ever heard of a woman getting "bored" with her child and regretting having it. Just think... Maybe this woman didn't follow through on all her wedding projects but that doesn't mean she got bored with her husband and fell out of love with him. Having a baby isnt the same as completing a project. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rabies-irrational-fear-post#post-261181 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:41:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 261181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but I'm terrified that I'm going to resent my LO when she's born. I am so tired of getting up every hour to pee or adjust and I find myself SO CRANKY in the middle of the night. I really, really don't want to find myself cranky at her :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-rabies-irrational-fear-post#post-261157 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 17:14:48 +0000 Turd Ferguson 261157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, I don't know...how exactly to start this without making it sound awful. I was on the blog "baby rabies" ( <a href="http://www.babyrabies.com/2007/07/irrational-fear-2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.babyrabies.com/2007/07/irrational-fear-2/</a> ) and couldn't help but kind of relate to one of her "irrational fear" posts:</p> <p>"I am afraid I will lose interest in my baby. I have always been a sort of one-track, task focused type of gal. I find one thing I want, and put every last ounce of effort toward it until it is mine. It’s been like this as long as I can remember – cheerleading sqaud, lead in the play, boyfriend, college, wedding. The thing is, once I get what I want, my follow through is crap. This is proven by the stacks of unfinished post wedding projects lying about my apartment. If my parent’s ever get the parent albums I promised them, it will be a miracle. So what if I put all this time and energy into getting pregnant, creating the perfect nursery, picking out the best, coolest, safest baby gear, only to find that the baby bores me after 2 months???"</p> <p>I feel I am the EXACT same way--I will throw EVERYTHING into the "preparing" part (case in point, I'm on Hellobee and not TTC for a few months!), and maybe am not so great at the follow-through... I'm not so much looking for validation here, but maybe more so anyone who went through the same "irrational fear..."</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
