In this episode:
- Did you not have that initial gush of love when you saw your baby for the first time? Maybe when you held your baby for the first time?
- It wasn't love at first sight for me.
- I think I went into survival mode and that took all of my energy.
- So many thoughts and worries were going through my head, I feel like I didn’t allow myself to really slow down and soak it in until months into Miles’ first year of life.
- How Jeff felt towards Miles.
- I remember seeing a post when I was pregnant by a woman on IG who just had twins. She talked about how for MONTHS she didn’t bond with her babies like she thought she was supposed to.
- Social media is the worst when it comes to comparison.
- I’m glad I did see that moms post because when I realized I had those same exact feelings, I knew I wasn’t alone
- Why I think I experienced this
- Biggest suggestion: Make a pact with your partner that you both will allow the other person to come to them and say WHATEVER is on your minds. No matter how messed up you might think it is.
