Connection

I had this exact conversation with my mum today! I think you bind different with each child you have and as you've experienced pregnancy before, it's kinda like "Well I just want you here now" xx

I’m glad I’m not the only one! And I hope that’s the case

@Just’us I guess from my perspective, I've held back bonding with this one with fear I'll miscarry again. I'm trying to make more of a conscious effort the last few weeks and now being on mat leave to bind with her a little more bef9re she comes xx

oh I def understand that my first was a rainbow baby and I had so many negative thoughts up until the day he was born because I knew I was high risk so I wouldn’t let myself get my hopes up. I have a terrible mindset ( think the worst possible thing first ) I finally saw an ultra sound of this one he looks good got a great heartbeat but I’m thinking what if he had defects or not all of his toes and stillborn thoughts or me dying mid delivery even though he moves everyday I don’t do kick counts or anything like that I’m just in pain and miserable because I can’t sleep or get comfortable he’s so high up so he wants to stay in way longer than my first I’m just ready to get it over but at the same time it’s people who can’t even get this far along in pregnancy and I don’t want to take it for granted 🤦🏽‍♀️ idk what’s wrong with me I think the hormones getting to me sorry if it got to personal

thank you for responding I might have just needed to vent that

@Just’us sometimes we just need reassuring and this app is a great place for that. I'm sure ince we hold our bubbas, all our fears will melt away xx

I'm the opposite to where I felt no emotional connection with my 1st while pregnant and with this one I'm so emotional and feel so connected. I feel bad because I of course adore my oldest but I feel so much more in tune this time around.

Just wait until they are born!! I had the exact same feeling and my little girl was born last Wednesday and I fell instantly inlove with her

I was worried when pregnant I hadn't bonded like I had with my first and didn't know how I'd love this one as much and was feeling guilty about my eldest not been my only child anymore and giving him as much attention but when baby is born all those feelings subside so don't worry yourself at the moment

that’s a great Idea he has so many squishmellows he tries to share his juice with I’ll incorporate that with him 😊

thank you for the advice mama I think I’m just ready for him because my first is still up rn at 4:15am and I’m worried more of how I’m gonna Maintain my sanity but I’m sure it’ll work out this pregnancy feels so long I just want my body and my regular head space back I’m due March 14th but I think he’ll be here earlier I’ll def do an update then I love yall and and you so much!

@Just’us I was nervous about all this too my little boy stopped sleeping well around mid January but honestly it has all been fine I over thought the full thing and it's been good.

It's still early days of course and things could change but you've got this ☺️
