Don't believe it.

I found out I was pregnant pretty much when I conceived. It's my second baby. I am now ten weeks so I've known for about two months and it still doesn't even feel real. I've had three ultrasounds and have a home fetal dipper so I've heard the heart beat heaps. But I'm still finding it hard to believe I'm not only pregnant but really going to have another baby. Is this normal that I don't really feel much of a bond yet? How can I change this.

My gosh how exactly I am feeling. I've known from my day of conception and I'm now 7weeks. My second child, because of my awareness from the beginning the days and weeks are just dragging by. Most of the time I don't a change because I'm filled with expectations. I've had 2 ultrasounds and few hormone level checks and it still I haven't grasped the reality. I'm glad I can relate. I try to bond by listening to my favorite music and letting it vibe throughout my body, or just talking to my belly helps as a reminder and makes me feel a little more attached. I think as time goes by and we start to feel the little flutters and see the physical change it'll all hit. Congrats to yours

I felt the same way also first month I was in super shock I will space out & when I saw my first ultrasound I didn't feel anything until lately I slowly have sometimes I feel bad /: maybe the baby feels that I'm not loveable

I felt exactly the same and honestly for me the bond is growing as the end date gets closer.  Now 26w 4days. It's actually just how I am. Maybe when your bump comes along it will feel different.  It's not a bad thing tho I don't believe.  I've never been one to talk to my belly etc :)
