Are these feelings normal ?

Question

I am 34 weeks I constantly worry about my Baby mostly because i can't see myself with a child I love my son but I can't feel a connection i don't feel like we are bonding Like most moms I see maybe its just my anxiety or my hormones I'm not sure I just want someone to tell me this is Normal 😩 I am worrying myself sick.

Answer

It’s completely normal. And don’t be shocked if you don’t connect with the baby immediately after birth either. I didn’t and I felt ashamed because of it but a year and a half later and I have discovered it’s not something people like to talk about but it is definitely a thing that happens. It’s a major life change.

Answer

My whole pregnancy i was like this. I was so scared I wasn't gonna be a good mom or we werent gonna have a bond. Because I felt no attachment to him whatsoever while pregnant with him. To be honest i felt like this a little after i gave birth. Only because he was really colicky and would cry and nothing I did calmed him. But if i could relive the day i gave birth to him i would a thousand times. Its an amazing feeling and he's literaly my best friend. Were almost 10 weeks pp. And I promise you it gets so much better.

Answer

I feel like this at the minute, my finance constantly wants to hug and talk to my tummy but I don’t feel as strongly connected and don’t understand why. 
I love my baby with everything I have but don’t feel as attached as I feel other moms are with their unborn babies. I keep putting it down to the fact that it’s been a rough pregnancy so I’m just tired and emotional 😪

Answer

That feeling is completely normal. When I had my first baby it was hard for me to have a connection but once I had her in my arms all those feelings went away and I was so in love with her and then all your motherly instincts would kick in. Then when I had my second baby I felt the same way but I was like how am I going to love him because I was so in love with my daughter and I just felt so bad because I didn’t have a connection again but its like the more kids you have the bigger your heart grows and the more love you feel for each kid. Trust me those feelings would soon go away once you meet your baby.
