Ds1 I had awful pnd, went back to work when he was 2 months old as couldn't cope with being a mum, took until he was around 2 before I actually enjoyed being a mum.
Fell pregnant with ds2 and was petrified I wouldn't love him or bond for a few years.
It couldn't have been any different - it was overwhelming love as soon as I had him, loved doing everything.
As not to drip feed inbetween I was diagnosed bipolar and had medication sorted for that and other MH problems so was feeling "normal" so I know that has a lot to do with it being easier this time.
I feel so guilty that it took me a few years to bond with ds1 and regret all that I've missed out on him.
Anyone any suggestions to get over this? I know it probably sounds horrible
