It is really hard to feel connected to a little person you can't see, hear, feel or have any tangible link to- I thought that having a baby inside me would be enough to feel connected but it wasn't, in the early days. I desperately wanted my LO and was so in love with the idea of my baby, but it wasn't until I got my bump, started feeling LO move and could see him on the scans that it felt real and I felt connected to him. With my DD I didn't feel bonded during pregnancy which shocked me she was very much planned for and wanted and I worried it would mean I wouldn't bond with her when she arrived. But I did, as soon as I met her. It is easy to have expectations of what pregnancy will be like and how you'll feel but if it isn't how you expected it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you or that you won't feel that way further along
Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
