Hey Laura, this was really good to read. I felt like this for a lot of pregnancy too. I think, as a naturally anxious person, I didn’t let myself bond with my baby before they were born… this anxiety continued in the first few months of motherhood and I was in survival mode a lot of the time rather than blissful bonding but it came and is just so strong now. You’re not alone xxx

Wow, such frank writing, Laura. I'm sure sharing these stories will help others who have felt similarly. (And I hope it helps you process the experience a bit for yourself too, now with the benefit of some time distance.)
