any other moms have the feeling of just not being connected to your baby? My little girl has been posterior and sat in my back most of my pregnancy so I haven't really gotten the chance to bond through movements or having a baby bump until recently. I'm just starting to feel and really look pregnant and I'm close to the end. don't get me wrong, I am very excited to be her mom (we did plan her). I'm just not sure if what I'm going through is "normal" or not.
@happyamy, @showersoverflowers, thanks ladies! I know that I am very happy to have her in my life and I'm wanting her to be here more then ever, I just think it's finally starting to sink in that I am in fact really having a baby (we miscarried the month before we found out we were expecting again) so it really is like a shock. you've both made me feel 1000X better.
It happens when your a first time mother...you simply never loved or had a child of your own...
I knew I was pregnant but couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I was having another baby. I was almost shocked when I delivered. I'm very bonded with baby now though! However I do have PPD just because I was not adjusted to the idea of another baby but I do not resent or feel distant to my baby at all
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
I've had 2 losses that we know of (I stopped testing before 8 weeks after a while until I started on hormone treatmemts) and I've had two successful pregnancies. my babies mean the world to me but this last pregnancy was so disconnected compared to the first. I thought there was something wrong with me but after talking with my doc, she reassured me it was okay! she even said she went through a similar situation with one of her pregnancies
