I'm 9 weeks pregnant. Should I love my baby yet? I don't.

Question

Answer

It's normal to feel that way. I felt like that whenever I was in my first trimester. I loved my baby but I didn't have a bonding connection with him until the second he was born. Once I saw my little tiny baby for the first time.. I instantly fell in love!! If you're depressed or anything, definitely talk to your doctor about it though. I hope you have a happy and healthy rest of your pregnancy!! Congratulations by the way❤

Answer

It's normal to not bond with baby until later. A lot of times even until after you've given birth!! I started to bond with baby around my anatomy scan at 20 weeks when I could see him move on the ultrasound and feel him at the same time. That made it more real for me! I'm 36 weeks now and I'm slowly bonding with him more. Once he's out it will be completely different though and I'll be able to bond with him hopefully instantly or really quickly!

Answer

12 weeks here and I still don't feel love for this child. I feel bad cuz we both wanted this so bad and it's our first child, but it's normal and the hormones too can get to you. If you got mommy friends talk to them! I did and I just let it all out and I felt so much better afterwards. They will understand you. Give it time you'll get there

Answer

At 9 weeks, I didn't feel loved or even connected until after 20 weeks. I felt like a bad person since I was carrying her and all, but lots of moms go through this.
