I'm 30 weeks pregnant with my 4th child. I just don't feel a connection and it makes me feel bad. Is that normal?

I feel the same way ☹️

It’s not talked about enough honestly. The “depression” or detachment from your baby during the pregnancy. I honestly have been through this due the the relationship with the other parent. It gets better with time . I’m not going to sit here and say I haven’t had days where I felt like there was no hope or this was a mistake and yada yada yada but to be completely honest with you, it’s a process. I’m 27 wks and I’ve healed through my friends. I say whatever is the cause of your disconnect or depression, grab your friends and/or lover and keep the company and presence of them. It’ll help you. 💖 inbox if you need to.

You shouldn't feel bad at all. Every pregnancy is different. I don't really feel much of a connection but I talk to my baby like she's already here. Being around family or listening to stand up comedy helps me forget that I'm pregnant sometimes or at least makes me feel better

Thank yall so much!
