Prego with #2, do not feel the bond I did with #1

Danderson1 · February 2013

I have been stressing about not having the tight feeling with this baby as I did when I was pregnant with my daughter. I am 11 weeks pregnant, 37 years old and have an eight year old daughter. I always wanted to have another child, but I just feel odd that I don't have that intense maternal love feeling that I had for my daughter the day I found out I was pregnant with her. Is this normal? I am constantly reading baby things to get myself 'excited' about the baby but I'm so tired all the time and emotional. I find myself just wanted my daughter with me constantly like I am having separation anxiety or something. Does anyone have any advice???? Please

Pretty normal. I felt that way with #2 and #3 until they were born. Now I love all 3 like a crazy person. I obsess about them all.

Normal!

I feel the same way, but I think it will get better once it gets more "real"- kicking, etc. The way I look at it, you see and interact with your older child every day and right now the little bean is all behind the scenes.

But yes- ask this on Parenting or 1st Trimester, you'll get more responses.
