Struggling to connect

Also, this might sound like an odd question, but does anyone struggle to connect with their baby whilst pregnant? I've seen some pregnant women really connected to their soon-to-be baby, and I feel I want to be at that stage too. I used to be more excited, but I’ve had some ups and downs with my in laws which has made me a bit less excited. Does anyone have any advice on how to get to a stage where I feel connected?

Are you feeling movement? I felt silly until I felt movement and baby reacting to me. You could try reading or playing it your favourite songs or getting your partner (if you have one) to rub oil in your belly if you feel silly or find it hard to talk to it. X

I do celebration of rites of passage, which is stages in life where you transform and matrescence is real, is the process of us becoming the mother that baby needs and also whe transform into a version of us we haven’t experience before but with your essence. So is normal to not have a connection or certain knowledge about self. If you feel maybe join a pregnancy group that teach you to connect with baby, I do personal consultations and shamanic journey to meet the souls of your baby if you’re interested send me a private message :)

I never felt connected with my last pregnancy nor this one but i did make attempts to talk to them and rub my belly. There is alot of pressure for mums to connect but honestly just give it time. I didnt connect with my baby til she was 6 weeks old because i had a difficult birth and was sleep deprived but i relaxed and it eventually clicked into place. Please dont worry too much. I physically just cant connect to somerhing that i cant see or hold.

I always tense when someone says ‘I bet you love it so much already’ and I’m like ? I mean I’m so happy to be pregnant but I dunno… I can’t ‘love’ it yet I don’t think??? lol
