Ur 1st pregnancy will always e more exciting than the others as everything is new! New feelings, changing body, not knowing what ot expect. I feel exactly the same! I onded with my 1st LO from the time I found out I was expecting. This time round Im not as excited about anything. I have bonded with baby in last month since we gave him a name and know soon as I see him my feelings will compeltely change. My LO was 7mnths old when I found out and im due in 2wks, my lo will be 15mnths old! So it is normal and ull be fine xx

i think it depends really. every pregnancy is differnt. i was alot more excited in the beginning with my daughter but i dont think that means im not connected with this one. you have an 11 month old at home, i wouldnt expect you to be anything less than tired from caring for her, and being pregnant on top of it. things that arent planned also take a little time to accept. there is much more aprehension, more fears, more stresses. its all perfectly normal. it will get better in time. it took me until i had an ultrasound and could see him in there to feel like wow this is real again. =) if things dont start to get better for you, then i would talk to a dr. in the beginning with this one i went through alot of mood swings, and depression. i cried over every little thing. im feeling alot better now and im excited. most of it was hormonal, some of it was due to death of family and that sort of thing. none of it was because of the little bean. =) i was sick and tired alot with this one in the beginning too. just hang in there. if it seems to get worse, talk to your dr. just to rule out any serious depression. i think youre fine though. i think your reacting normally, and naturally and that things will definatly get better and you will get more excited. =))

I feel the same, with my first baby, I read pregnancy books, and all I could think and talk about was the baby, the nursery was even completely done when I was 8 WEEKS, I am now 20 weeks, and have done nothing so far, I do not look forward to the birth or anything, I don`t even feel like doing a nursery for this baby....

I got pregnant with my second LO when my first LO was only 3 months old. It was a surreal feeling because I had a hard time believing I was going to be having another LO so soon so I didn`t feel connected to my second pregnancy right away. Plus with all the running around I was doing with my LO the pregnancy really flew by. As I got closer to the end of the pregnancy it really kind of hit me and when I actually was holding her it was just as exciting & amazing as it was first my first:o)

thanks girls, i really needed to know that i`m not crazy or alone for having these feelings. I can`t wait until it changes and i`m excited and can bond with this baby.

I was on the pill too. I am 36 weeks and have a 15 month old. This is #4 and I was not near as excited to be pregnant. I have felt lots of guilt for it but now I am looking forward to another little one.

aww sweetie. You`re probably just too busy chasing your daughter. I know with Garrett I didn`t feel a close bond until weeks after he was born. Sometimes it just takes a while to make that bond and that doesn`t make you a bad mommy. You`ll be fine hun.. it`s normal to feel disconnected for a while.

I have a 11 month old and a 18 day old. It will change. I felt the same way you did while I was pregnant. I just didn`t have the time to sit and daydream about baby and pamper myself...anything like that. But as soon as baby #2 was born and I heard her sweet little cry...I was hooked! Your love is multiplied by your children!

iam now 30 weeks and i have a 17month old. Neither one was planned but i definately was WAY more into it last time. i think just already having little ones to consume all of our time and focus, takes away from the time we would have to focus on being pregnant. And nothing ever compares to having your first. i think it would be different if there was a few yrs in between....but its like....we JUST got done doing this....so it takes the excitment out of it as we literally JUST got done being pregnant. But dont worry. Even at 30 weeks now, im excited for my little guy dont get me wrong....but still dont jump at every move and not constantly focusing on whats going on in there. I think its definately normal.
