I’m so disconnected with my baby

Help I feel like shit. Gave birth almost a week ago. I don’t like my baby and feel so disconnected. I feel that if it was a girl I would feel way more connected like I was with my daughter. I feel like I ruined my family with this baby.

Sounds like post partum depression to me. You should really reach out and get some help.

I hear it’s normal for some moms to not feel an immediate connection with their baby. I would def reach out for some help in case it is postpartum depression. You are not alone, and you are not a bad mom for not feeling instantly connected.

What they said ^^ and also I’ve heard that your second you’re more likely to have PPD so if you had a girl before and it was easier to connect with perhaps it’s not that you have a boy now but that it’s your second child etc? Sending you lots of love and prayers that you get through this. Please reach out to people friends family and even a doctor perhaps!
