Not bonding with my newborn....

Ashley

Are there any other first time moms or moms in general that are having a hard time bonding with their newborn or feeling "connected"??? Even though I care for my 3 week old, I feel distant from her. I don't feel as connected to her as I want too. Keep in mind, I was just diagnosed with PPD and put on antidepressants. So that may be why. I have moments of happiness but most of the time I just feel like crying all the time. People say it gets better. Does it? Will I ever be happy again like I was before pregnancy? I just want joy and peace again. I want to feel like my normal self again.
