Bonding with Baby

I had a c-section 5 weeks ago and I was genuinely surprised that I initially struggled with bonding with my sweet little guy. I definitely now adore him, but it took a couple of weeks for me to feel less ambivalent to him (I don't believe it was post-partum depression as we're good now). Has anyone else had a similar experience from a c-section or even by vaginal birth? It probably didn't help that my c-section was unplanned...

    I had an emergency c section and I did not feel bonded with my son for about 2 weeks. I even felt anger towards him for this scar I now have and the pain I was in. Looking back I know it wasn't his fault. And I feel really bad for having that anger towards him in the early days. But I think I was just in such shock of how everything happened. I also wonder if I would have felt more bonded with him if I hadn't been put to sleep for my csection. I went to sleep with a baby in me and woke up to my husband holding him. It is a weird feeling.
