I am pregnant and I am so worried that I am not going to bond with this baby.

DP thinks that I am talking myself into it and that if I just stop worrying about it things will be fine. He keeps telling me I need to think more positively (I have been struggling a lot with life lately, things are very complicated.) He just tells me everything is fine and my life is perfect, and I need to find some focus in my life. I know he is just trying to help, but it makes me feel like he doesn't try to understand and see where I am coming from.

I just KNOW that I will struggle with this baby. With my other two I was thrilled, and now whenever I see baby things I just want to cry. I haven't told many people and haven't booked a scan yet. I am just not looking forward to it all. I do TRY to get excited, and can seem to convince myself to be happy for short spells of time, but then I just feel upset again and can't seem to find any happiness about it at all:(

Anyone had a similar issue or advice?

It could be antenatal depression which is quite common. Here is an article about it: http://health.ninemsn.com.au/pregnancy/complications/693967/antenatal-depression

Perhaps go and see a GP. There's no shame in getting some help.
