Is it normal to not feel a bond with an unborn baby at 8 months pregnant?

I care about his well being and I have no desire to harm him, and of course I take care of myself, by I just dont feel that magical bond yet...is that normal?

  • You'll feel the bond when you hold your baby for the first time. Don't let anyone tell you this makes you a bad mother. Some women feel a bond during pregnancy, and some have to see their child before it really hits them, and I'm sure it hits harder that way.

  • Please try to to let this worry you too much as even though you have carried your baby inside you for 8 months he is still a stranger to you, I also felt no love for my child during pregnancy despite the fact that it was a very planned pregnancy, I never done the usual things that pregnant women do talk to and rub their tummies ect I will also be honest I had to grow to love my daughter women are always goiing on about that instant bond well it wasn't there for me (but o.m.g the sun shines out of her backside now) and yes you may also have to grow to love your child but trust me in the end your beautiful son will be the centre of your universe. Good luck xx

  • Sure it's normal. Wait till he's born it'll all change. Don't worry!

  • This is an incredibly significant indicator that you are not carrying your own child. You see, when a mother is pregnant, oxytocin is naturally secreted through the vas deferens and eventually to the child, which is then converted and returned as serotonin.

    This process is only possible because the two have related DNA. If the mother and child do not have similar DNA structures, this will not occur.

    So I have a few questions - does your gynecologist have an abnormally large head/eyes, speak in an unintelligible language, and have a greenish skin tone?

  • You'll probably feel the bond when the baby is born. I don't know if it's normal or not, because I've never been pregnant. But I don't think you should worry.
