I don't bond with my twins

I haven't seen them but like 5 times. I don't connect with either baby. Im currently not able to see them. Im afraid that I will never bond with them. I just want get up and run far away and give up.

How long are you in the hospital for? I had trouble at first bonding with my child in the NICU BC i wasn't even allowed to touch him. I was so sad and didn't want to be around him. He was supposed to be there for 6 weeks also BC he was 2 months early (born 33 weeks)
Then after about a week i was able to touch him and hold him. But i wasn't able to really bond with him till i started breastfeeding. He was able to leave after 17 days
:) and it wasn't until i was able to actually  do my mommy duties like feed him or change his Diaper in the NICU that i felt connected
