Hi Everybody just a quick question for those who of you have had a baby after
you lost your Trisomy baby. Margaret Mary is 6 weeks old and I'm not feeling
that fierce attachment like I've had with the other's. I'm nursing so you'd
think it'd be there but it's not.
Dawn,
I felt the same way after I had my daughter Alyssa. I think I was afraid that
if I got too attached something would definately happen to her. She was a great
sleeper, sleeping through the night by 5 weeks, and that just made it all the
easier to just leave her in her bed until she needed something. I think it took
several trips to the drs. office because I thought there had to be something
wrong with her for me to realize that she was really ok and for me to see that
it really was ok to hold her and get attached. She was probably 2 months old
before I felt like we had really bonded. I think I just needed to be reassured
that she was healthy before I could really relax and begin to enjoy her. Hope
this helps...
