Bonding

This is my 3rd and for some reason I haven't established a bond yet with this baby. It's making me nervous because at this time with my other two I had a bond and was excited to be pregnant. Has anyone else felt like this?

This is my 4th and I don't feel any bond yet. I think it's me because at first I thought it was too soon. My youngest will be 1 at the end of June. Or maybe how many people have judged me on having 4 kids. I might even have another, always wanted a big family.

I'm at 18w and can't say that I feel any bond with the baby yet.  Hopefully, it will come soon...  :-(

It's so scary to feel that way ..
And it's my 3rd. I think the only real connection I had was with my first :(

I'm having the same issue, I'm a ftm tho and I am excited, but I don't feel that connection yet. Everyone tells me until I feel the baby move I will feel it.

I was that way with my third.  And she came out a happy healthy girl and after her birth I bonded immediately.
Now pregnant with #4 & not having any bonding issues this time.
