Why do I feel no connection

Question

I honestly am so confused because I can feel like I want a connection with my daughter but it’s just not happening. I can feel excited I just don’t feel the connection I hoped to feel once I got pregnant. I had a previous miscarriage and throughout this entire pregnancy I have felt so scared to lose this baby that I feel like the minute I get excited something will go wrong it’s made it impossible to grow a connection with my own child. I’m not sure what to do and nobody really understands I mean I can’t even understand it myself.

Answer

I’ve heard of this happening to a lot of women, actually. Even after the baby is born. It’s a little human, and it takes a bit sometimes for there to be a connection simply because it’s new and you’ve never actually met them before birth. There isn’t anything wrong with you, it might just take you a bit to form that bond

Answer

Totally normal girl. There is NOTHING wrong with you. I promise.

Answer

My big connection to my children didn’t happen until the moment they were born. The second I held them both I was completely overwhelmed with love. Not that I didn’t “care” about the baby in my belly, it was just really different once I met them. I think your emotions are normal ☺️

Answer

I don’t connect to pregnancies whatsoever, but I do after they’re born. Idk if it’s cus of my losses, if it’s cus I’m extremely pro choice, or if there’s just something weird about my brain... but I don’t rub my belly and tell it I’m so in love and excited to meet baby because I just don’t feel like that while I’m pregnant. I’m a great mom and have a great bond with my son, but didn’t connect with him at all during pregnancy and that is ok.

Answer

It's okay. Not everyone feels instant love and connection and that's normal. You may not feel it even for a few weeks and months. And it's still okay. The time to be concerned is if you feel depressed and want to harm yourself or the baby or feel hate towards the baby or want to neglect them.

Answer

I didn’t feel much of a connection until the baby was born. My love for my baby grew more over time after getting to know her and spend more time with her. My friends said they had a similar experience

Answer

Similar situation I guess I miscarried before I fell pregnant with my daughter and struggled to settle and connect until my first scan. Then at my anatomy scan we found out my daughter had a defect with a 50/50 survival rate and I “disassociated” mused with my pregnancy to protect not only myself but her from me getting over stressed etc. Unfortunately we did lose my daughter. It’s natural and in time you’ll connect, miscarriages are harsh and really do leave you panicking constantly that there’s a problem. You’re reaction isn’t crazy it’s okay ❤️

Answer

I never really felt a connection either until the very end of pregnancy. I'm crazy about my kids though.
