I actually was chatting to the other mums this week at mothers group about this! I felt the connection as soon as they placed Joshua on my belly after having him, he looked into my eyes and i knew "this is my boy" and no-one can ever have what we had! Other mums were saying how they felt it when they got home, or when the bub was a little older, it happens at different stages for each person! I am sure in time it will happen...just enjoy each day as it comes.
