Not feeling connected while pregnant
I need some positive reassurance here....
I've been dealing with severe depression my whole pregnancy and it got worse and worse and worse. I'm finally on medication at 33 weeks way too late, and it's going to take a while to adjust.
Right now I need reassurance
I love my baby girl, I really do. I want her here and healthy.
But I do not feel connected to her. I don't feel connected to the little girl that I feel and see moving constantly.....and it breaks my heart. I want to feel something. I try to force myself to feel something. My husband has been more than supportive and understanding, but it still doesn't change the fact that all the excitement I wanted to feel when having my first baby is not there. I want it to be but it's not.
Did any of you ladies struggle with this and once your baby was here you finally felt the connection? I'm so scared I won't feel anything when she gets here. Someone please tell me I'm not alone and they felt something for their baby in the end. I just want to be a good mom.
