Not feeling a connection?

Question

15+4 with baby #2 and already have an almost 4 year old son. I feel like I don’t feel connected to the baby yet.. my husband and I are very excited but I just feel different this time around.. is that normal? I feel like with my son the second I found I was pregnant I couldn’t stop touching my belly and now I feel like I barely do (I’m not truly showing yet). It sounds silly but it makes me worry!

Answer

Don't worry. I felt the same way with my second. I was so focused on so much that was going on with work, my son, just life overall. Once our second son was born, that was when I started to feel a connection and bond. I think part of it, for me, was we didn't know what we were having, so I didn't have a name or a way to think of our baby. What you are experiencing can be totally normal.
