The Other Side of Mothers Feeling

There’s a popular belief that mothers fall in love with the baby while the baby is still in her womb and it is love at first sight for her. Also, a mother is overjoyed once she holds her baby for the first time. In fact, women are believed to have painted a rosy picture of moments in their mind where they sing to the baby, shop for cute baby outfits, laugh along and cuddle the baby to no extent – basically they dream of everything positive related to parenthood. However, not all stories are fairy-tale; there are some where mothers don’t experience the overwhelming feeling after holding their baby.



There are occasions where mother experiences a sense of emptiness and post-natal depression. Although, no one speaks up about these issues but these do exist. Read one such confession for a mother and why she didn’t get the love at first sight feeling after seeing and holding her baby for the first time.
