I didn't have a c/s, but I had a very long natural VB with my first DS and I didn't feel a connection with him at first either. When the midwife passed him to me I felt nothing other than relief that labour was over. I had a long recovery after some blood loss and it took a couple of weeks to really feel like I was bonding with him. Definitely when he started smiling and looking at me it helped.

With my second DS I felt that bond instantly, I think it is definitely a first-time-mum feeling not to bond quickly. And I also think if you have had a traumatic birth experience (mine was) that it is also normal not to feel that bond. I'm sure there are plenty of first time mums who do have that connection, but I certainly didn't.

You will feel it soon, but don't feel guilty for not feeling it at the moment. There are plenty of other mums who have felt the same
