Feel like I've known my children my entire life

It's like it's a feeling as if I knew them before I even gave birth. For example, when I gave birth to my firstborn when I woke up and saw him (beccuse I lost alot of blood and consciousness so fell asleep after) I woke up and held him and it was a familiar feeling like 'Oh its you'....and everytime i look at them they're so familiar to me and I honestly feel like I've known them my whole life. Is it a mother thing?...or is it a thing where they're constantly around me so I feel like hat.....but the thing is I felt like that from when I saw my firstborn....is it only me lol?

Absolutely same. I first thing I said to my son was “I hear you” cause I was yanno sliced open on the operating table & couldnt see him, but I knew I knew that voice, even having never heard it before, even just the cries. My service dog also acted like they had known eachother for an entire lifetime too. They’ve been bonded since day one.

The moment I was handed her in surgery I said “hello you”. Instantly knew her name, instantly felt I’d known her a lifetime. Super strange because when I was pregnant I had no connection or bonding with her.

I oddly felt like I’d been my baby’s mother all my life… you know how when you’ve been looking for someone and you finally find them and you’re like oh there you are… It’s a very casual satisfaction when you find them, a pleasant, mild feeling of something being almost righted? Like oh there you are, I knew you were around here somewhere… That’s kind of how it felt, as if they were in another room the whole time but had always been there, and I’d always loved them.

This is what I mean. @Parker 又 and @🍄‍🟫mushroom🍄 it was/is such a familiar feeling like 'oh yeah, you' I've just recently had another baby and the feeling is back and as strong as when I had my other two and It was driving me crazy thinking is it just me or does everyone feel as if they're babies have been around for a while but you just didn't see or know them till now....but at the same time you kind of did! It like Deja Vu but it's also not. 🤯 and for me it was like @Sarah I did not necessarihagorm a connection while they were in womb. It was after when they came out.

Lmfao ok fuck me then.

@Parker 又 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hollered. I be feelin the sane way sometimes in the comments 🥲 you’re funny for that. And your birth story is beautiful. ❤️

@🍄‍🟫mushroom🍄 i deadass laughed out loud after I read all that to see id been blatantly ignored. I unfollowed the thread but I ain’t deleting my comments. 🫡🤣

Lool @Parker 又 noooo you're name was actually first! Literally a mistake, I didn't check till now🙈🙈😅🥲

Honestly though all 3 comments were really 👏 Glad I'm not the only one. The feeling was driving me crazy. Like I was living in another dimension.

🤣❤️

So I kind of feel like my life before my child and my life since my child are two separate books of the same series. I hardly recognize myself before motherhood. It’s like she was a different person I used to know and I was reborn when he was born. I felt that when I met my stepchildren, though, too. I feel like I’ve spent my entire life just waiting to be in these kids’ lives.
