Falling in Love

[buggie216]

I know this may sound weird...but I had a lot of complications this pregnancy...more than with my first...I was put on bedrest at 21w after spending 8 days in the hosp and spent another 5 days in about a month ago. Its been soooo difficult on my two year old...my husband and my friends. That being said I hope you understand when I say it was difficult to bond with my baby during the pregnancy...it was a miserable experience. Delivery was worse I had pitosin but no pain meds at all...45 mins of being stitched up and had to go in yesterday (6 days later) to have a few areas silver nitrated (cauterized). ANYWAY...my little teeny preemie is a week old and I must say...i'm falling in love!! Dont get me wrong...I have always loved her...(its not like that)...but now i'm finally getting that warm and fuzzy feeling. Can anyone relate?

I had difficulty bonding wit my first. Loved him to bits during pregnancy but then when he was born I didn't get the feeling I expected, took a few month. Dfor it to grow. I'm now 24weeks with my second and quite worried that the same will happen again. I have been told its normal though

I went through the same thing, my lil one was born at 28 weeks and spent 5 weeks in the hospital. Not being able to really connect with her the way other normal mommies and babies do was very hard. Never feel guilty just understand the issue and find a safe place or.person to speak too. That will help soo soo much.

Same here. At first I believe it's hard to fall in love because of the responsibilities, and our babies are new to us. I was the same! I dreaded nights lol. But now she's 1 1/2 month old and I love her more now. And she's easier to handle.

Not at all ive had 2 preenies in the past hoping this one goes to term but its harder to get the warm fuzzys when you have a miserable pregnancy then spend the first few days after delivery worrying so much about them

Yeah...i feel kinda guilty it wasnt immediate...i would have died for her immediately and all that...but that warm and fuzzy feeling just wasnt there until the last day or so...does that make me a bad person?!

I kind of feel simular. even tho I haven't had my baby yet and am 34 weeks I feel like I'm not totally and completely in love with my baby like some women at this point are. I think I need to see him for it all to be completely real to me still. This is my first so I am new at all this but I know how some women talk about how much they love there baby already before they're born. don't get me wrong, I love him and couldn't see life any other way now but I think I will fall completely in love the moment I lay my eyes on him.
