Hi! I’m Lindsey and I’m 14 weeks pregnant with my 2nd(and last) biological child. I have two older step kids who are mine too and live with my husband and I full time....
This second pregnancy is completely different than my first. I already have a little boy and was desperately hoping this was a girl because it’s for sure my last. We found out this baby is a boy. And I’m pretty sad still though I’m grateful that’s he’s healthy...what I’m struggling with is I’ve been sooo sooo soo sick this pregnancy and it’s not letting up. Lost five lbs so far and my blood pressure is so low. Physically I’ve felt so bad that it’s hard to feel excited about the baby...we planned this baby so much and I’m already starting to feel some flutters, but I don’t feel at all connected to him. Nor do I really feel pregnant, just sick. I’m worried I’m not going to love this baby. With my first son I felt magically connected to him from my positive pregnancy test. I was sick for a little, but nothing like this. I feel like there’s something wrong with me because I just don’t feel anything for this baby. #myfirstpost #helpme

Girl I feel the same. My first is 9 months and I'm 11 weeks with this one. I'm beyond sick and have lost 8 pounds so far. I'm not excited nor do I feel any connection to this baby what so ever. We are in the same boat because it's our last as well. I also have a step son who lives with us full time. I've tried everything for the nausea and nothing works at all!

I was the same with you, my first I felt a connection with right away my second I didn’t have a connection with at all my whole pregnancy I was upset he was a boy(I wanted a girl) I feel into depression bad I felt like I would never love him like my first but let me tell ya when I had him saw him for the first time and held him it was falling in love all over again and all the bad feelings and thinking went away like that I wouldn’t trade him for the world and I love my babies the same!

@mombie., so you have all boys? I keep thinking that’s why I’m not connected because I wanted a girl so badly. I know I’ll love him, it just feels so upsetting to not feel that way now. Thank you for sharing your experience I also feel so much guilt for focusing on the gender.

@lynnz373, yes I have 2 step sons and 2 biological boys I think that was some of it for me because I wanted a girl and got another boy and because I felt guilty for having another baby so soon and taking attention away from my oldest son but honestly he didn’t lose any attention at all lol
