Hey mamas! I really want my hubby to bond with Kaedynce while she's in my belly. He's having such a hard time connecting after losing Elijah and I just want him to feel bonded to her. Any ideas?😔
@princessmama, I think that with your previous loss maybe he's afraid to bond. That's the worse feeling in the world. I never got to see my last baby, we miscarried at 5 weeks and it was devastating so I couldn't imagine what you both felt. My husband had a very hard time "bonding" after that. He rarely touches my stomach or talks to her etc. he's crazy about her and I can tell but he's still afraid at times. Give your hubby time. When he sees her for the first time they will probably be inseparable. Make sure you talk about him too and not just baby. Men are weird and need affirmed all the time. lol he's probably still hurting and worried. Love on him 😊
@princessmama, Rochester is a little ways away but I'm only 20 mins from binghamton!
@karkster420, thank you Mama, I'll try to be less pushy lol. And yes ma'am I moved here about 9 months ago from Rochester
Yea he says I'm overwhelming him with being too pushy about her😔 I didn't mean it I was just excited and I know that once she's here he'll be excited and cry and she will have him wrapped around her finger, I just wish I could let him experience this pregnancy with me without making him feel distant 😓 and thank you it's French.@lovingbabykadence
@princessmama, I looked at your profile because I'm a snoop lol. I'm so sorry about your son, I could not have imagined the pain or even still imagine it. My heart goes out to you and your hubby. I pray he finds ways to bond with your girl, don't force him to but encourage him to gently. he will bond better once she's here ☺ also you're in binghamton?
I think this is a defense mechanism to him. My Husband and I had 2 miscarriages last year and it broke him up. I try to call him everytime she kicks, but I think he'll get more attached when he sees her. My Daughter will be named Kaidence too! I love how you spelled your Daughter's name ❤❤❤
I told him I want him to start reading a book and he said he will try to make sure he does everyday but sometimes it's like he feels obligated I guess:/ @karkster420
I've tried showing him that she kicks my stomach so hard and it moves, I've sent him videos and sometimes he will cradle her and kiss my belly and talk...but others he says things like "can't we talk about something other than the baby? I'm so overwhelmed" so I just feel so confused and lost. @scc2413
have him read her books or sing 1 specific song everyday and when she's born she will recognize his voice and that song will be recognized too.
I honestly think he needs to be on antidepressants:/ Elijah is still so fresh in our hearts but he sees that as a crutch😔@morganmommy79
