Post Body

Edit: post was originally posted on r/parents but it was removed

as the title states, im terrified that when me and spouse do conceive a child, I'll feel nothing for it. It's causing me no small amount of anxiety and making my depression even worse. Spouse knows about this but she has always wanted kids and im not sure she truly understands how I feel. I have always wanted to feel prepared for a child but I've always been told you're never ready for the first one. I know this post has probably been done a lot before but I need any help I can get, thank you.
