I’m in my third trimester, and I don’t FEEL pregnant. I just feel fat. Anyone else have similar experience? I’m worried I’ll get to a point where baby will come soon, and it won’t feel like he’s mine because I never felt pregnant.

No matter how you feel now, it will feel different once he’s been in your arms. Every day you will love him more! Not everyone feels “different” during or after pregnancy. That doesn’t take away the feelings that will develop for your baby

You must be early in your third. There’s no way to hide my very very pregnant belly at 39 weeks 😂 you’ll get there!

I’m 10 weeks behind you- so yes for sure.
But I’m also now hospitalized for preeclampsia monitoring and baby may come any day, and I feel like I’m missing the pregnancy feeling.

I means the is to be encouraging and not the other way around, but I was one of those people who had a hard time bonding when my baby was born because my pregnancy was so hard (endless morning sickness, issues with the placenta, preeclampsia watch that developed into preeclampsia AFTER she was born). But it did eventually come, for me it took a full year post birth. I’m now pregnant with my second and having a hard time bonding but I am much more relaxed because I know if I don’t feel it right away, it will still blossom into a wonderful connected relationship in time. I’m so sorry you have to ride this part of your pregnancy out in the hospital, that sounds miserable :( I was always in awe of women who felt really connected during their pregnany and feeling like I was missing out on something or broken or something, but I promise, the momma in you will come out at some point, just be patient with yourself and your little one!
