When did you fall in love with LO?

[Maybe1stBaby]

This question is for all the moms who were left while pregnant, and I guess to all the single moms in general.

At what point during your pregnancy (whether you were still with FOB or not) did you fall in love with your little bean?

I booked 2 doctors appointments on the same day. The first was already scheduled before my world fell apart, it would be my first with OB-GYN and my first ultrasound. Later that day, I'm also scheduled for...yeah...not sure I can even do that...at a different doctor.

I'm not sure I'm want to go to either doctor's appointment. But was there any point during your pregnancy where you fell in love with your bean regardless of whether FOB was around or not?

I'm not sure I want to be punished for the next 18 years because I fell in love with the wrong person and I'm going over all of my options right now. I wouldn't mind giving my baby up to a gay or lesbian couple who really wanted a child, but then I'm worried if I carry this child to term and choose adoption, I might at some point fall in love with it and not be able to give it away.

Does that feeling of motherly love come after LO is born? After you see it on the ultrasound? After the morning sickness passes? When you first feel it move?
