Feeling disconnected from our baby

Carlyn

Hi everyone I am currently 28 weeks pregnant with my first son and my placenta is in front. Because of this I didn’t feel him move until later on but I still feel like I hardly feel him and it’s more of a twitch feeling than anything. Most of the time i don’t even feel pregnant. The whole time I’ve been pregnant I’ve just felt some disconnection with my son because I can’t feel him like everyone else who’s pregnant around me can feel they’re babies. My husband feels the same way because all the new dads have been able to feel they’re little ones for weeks and every time he tries he never gets anything so he becomes sad wishing he could feel him move around in my belly. Has anyone else experienced this before? I know once he’s bigger we’ll be able to feel him a little more and more hopefully, but just wondering what others advice is with this situation and the best way to connect with our baby
