With my 2nd- I feel much more attached to pregnancy

lololoco · February 2011

I think with my DD, I didn't know what to expect. I knew I loved her, I thought I was attached to her when I was pregnant with her, but for some reason, it feels so different this time. Maybe because I know this little baby I saw jumping on the ultrasound screen will one day be talking to me and saying "I love you" like my daughter, you know? I think before, also, I never thought past the infancy stage. I could never imagine what a toddler or pre-schooler would be like. Now when I imagine this baby, I imagine it as a 3 or 4 year old. I guess because I know how fast those early baby days pass.

I'm not sure how to explain it, but I just know that at almost 13 weeks, I am way more attached to this pregnancy than I was with my first. Is that weird? Am I the only one?

I'm having sort of the opposite experience (although I thought I'd feel like you!). I'm just so busy with work and DS, that I don't think about this little bean as much as I did with DS, when all of my free time was spent thinking about his imminent arrival. I'm thinking that might change as I get bigger, and feel kicks and such. Even with DS, I didn't feel super connected until I felt him moving around. Before that, he felt more like an alien sucking my energy away

I'm the same as CandyIsGood. With DD I was in love the second I POAS. When I first saw her on the ultrasound I cried! She only looked like a lima bean at the time! Everytime I heard her heart beat my heart melted. I wish I felt like that again, but I think I'm just too busy now to really think about it! I have another ultrasound in 11 days and I'm hoping to cry!
