Dont feel connected.......

[Lilli]

I found out i was pregnant at 10 wks, so ive only known my baby for 2 and a bit months. I dont feel totally connected with him/her yet. I touch my bump occasionly and try and talk to it, but its like it hasnt sunk in yet!
I really hope i dont sound ungrateful or anything like that. I just dont feel pregnant and i dont think about it all the time. Am i normal??? Please help!! x

Im sure that is totally normal babe, i dont think i really connected til about 2 months ago LOL....Charlie is now 4 months!!!
DOnt worry, you'll be fine!!!

When you get a proper big bump i'm sure you'll feel differently & especially when you can feel him/her move around.
I found it all very strange & didn't feel pregnant, even when I HAD A HUGE BUMP i HAD TO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF i WAS PREGNANT!! (Oh poop, that bloody caps lock button!!!)
Don't feel bad at all, you're not ungrateful, the whole experience is very surreal.
Even after Jamie arrived it felt odd, I keep looking at him now & can't quite believe he's mine & that I have a baby

Only now am I feeling like I am having a baby and connecting with her! It helps that she moves a lot now and we found out the sex and named her! She seems more like a real person now. My friend says she still can't beliebe that she's had a baby and little George is 9 months now

aww hun its totaly normal. I forget im pregnant lol, then the little one gives me a kick just to let me know its still there hehe. I dont think it sunk in when I was pregnant with zack until he was born, then i still couldnt believe it.

You'll be a great mummy, dont worry

Please do not stress about it - that is no time at all. I didnt feel any kind of bond/protectivness until I had a pretty big bump (about 7 months)

Even then I think you dont actually connect until after the baby is born. As long as you look after yourself and have your regular anti natal checks then you are protecting him/her.
