Hi mums!
Please tell me that nothing is wrong with me and things will get better...
My DD is 9 weeks now. She is sweet and calm and everyone says she is gorgeous... But I do not feel bonded with her. I cuddle her, she smiles beautifully, sometimes I even kinda enjoy time with her. But most of the time I just regret having her. This is so painful, how bad mother you need to be to not love your baby?
We had hard delivery - 14 hours of induction followed by emergency C-section and I did not have her by my side till next day. They only showed her briefly to me. Bf was a total struggle and things improved for me after we switched to bottle.
I have been to psychiatrist even but I do not have PND.
Im freaking out that I will never bond with her and our lives will be ruined. How long can it take? :(
