Please can someone reassure me
I’m 35 + 3 and I feel really disconnected from this baby. I don’t really feel any affection towards him and I don’t know why. I know he’s a boy, we’ve named him, we’ve decorated his room, he’s got little clothes. But I just… don’t feel connected or any kind of rush of love. He is my second, and I can’t remember if I felt this way when I was pregnant with my daughter. Maybe I felt this way then but because it was my first I didn’t really think anything different? Maybe what I’m feeling for this baby pales so much in comparison to the real love I felt for my first once she was born, that it seems like I’m disconnected but when he’s born I’ll get that rush of love too?
I don’t know, what I do know is that I’m confused, I feel terribly guilty, I feel worried that I’m going to see him differently to my daughter.
Does anyone feel the same?
