When Love Feels Distant: Facing My Fears as a New Parent

There are days when I look at my baby and wonder why I don’t feel the overwhelming love everyone talks about. It’s terrifying to admit, but sometimes I worry something is wrong with me. I expected an instant, magical bond, but instead, I feel lost and exhausted, questioning if I’m enough. I keep reminding myself that love can grow slowly, especially when you’re navigating sleepless nights and endless worries. If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone. It’s okay to talk about these feelings and seek support. Sometimes, the deepest connections take time to bloom. Has anyone else experienced this?
