When did you...

[dab20]

Just a question for you mamas out of curiosity. When do you think you started feeling "love" for your baby? Was there a certain point where you felt attachment to them or was it more gradual?

I think I started having an attachment for my "baby" at my ten week ultrasound. At 18 weeks I found out there was TWO babies, not one, and looking at them on the screen a pretty much fell in love with them. Every time I feel their kicks and nudges I think how lucky I am to be able to have them inside of me and love them so much before they even arrive :)
I know this isn't the same for all moms , so just wondering your experience!

I fall in love everytime I hear the hb. But it gets instantly replaced with fear as well afterwards knowing Im likely facing the challenge of having a boy with developmental issues a third time :-\ I just hope my Dr can help me figure these things out.

This was SO me a couple of weeks ago. I asked a question on here if it was normal to not be attached to my baby, but once I started feeling his movements every single day, I fell in love. I'm seriously head over heels, and I'm crying while typing this but it's probably just hormones but I LOVE MY BABY SOOOO MUCH. I just had to get that out there lol

oh, I'll be 22 weeks Thursday. I love my little boy with all my heart :)

I love my son more than anything I agree with ^^^ I haven't felt any attachment as of yet I jus can't wait to hold him and kiss him :):) I feel in love with him after my 3d ultrasound and he was smiling best sight I'd ever seen.

Honestly I love my son so much but I dont feel an attachment to him yet and I dont think i will until hes in my arms...Ill be delivering him in 3 weeks and I have no doubt that moment will be irreplaceable

It took a lot of acceptance on part. (ftm) but I think it was gradual.

Well I was 18 when I first got pregnant n I was very happy n I was ready to b a mother but when I was almost 2months I had a miscarriage  
N I cried about it but I felt like it wasnt my time n I didnt try it again cause I didnt wanna go thru that again n try to have a baby but one day it'll b my time..I gotta lot of work to do jus to have a baby n I might try it again..

When i got first pregnancy positive test... But i was denying attachment what so ever... Big big denial... I had miscarriage at 11 wks 5 months b4 this pregnancy.. I was certain it ll happen again so i didnt want to put myself at stress... My first u/s between 12-14wks i saw him n i was out of this world.. I ws 13+1.. I saw him alive n moving me n dh were excited... Bt i was still worried so i use to cry over lil pains... Abt at 20+2 u/s i completely fell in love with him... I didnt care whether its a girl or a boy... Now i breathe with his movements... When i dont feel him move for a while i get close to crying n become obssesive lol...


Oh by the way this is our first baby after 5yrs of marriage.  two yrs of fertility treatment.

When I first felt the movements my heart melted and mama instincts kicked in

With my first son when test said positive. With my second son (it was a suprise & I wasnt to happy at first) when I heard his HB for the first time. With this one it took me awhile because of certain issues & depression. Id say when I found out sex. (girl).
