Don't push yourself. The more you stress and overthink this the worse you will feel and the more counterproductive it will be.
It is perfectly normal, particularly at such an early stage, to not feel 'connected' or bonded with your baby. It is alright. Give yourself time and give yourself space.
Also, try and just look at the positives about your pregnancy. It is very easy to feel all the negatives (especially when there can be so many of them). But take some time out each day to think of just ONE positive thing about your pregnancy for that day. It cna be anything; either present or looking into the future. It could be "wow, I am growing a life" It may be you feel the baby move, it may be that you DIDN"T get morning sickness today, or you had five minutes to just relax and not feel anything negative about being pregnant (that in itself can be a positive). Hell it can be the same positive thing each day if you want. The point is to make a concerted effort to try to look at things differently, even if you don't actually 'feel' it. (the old 'fake it til you make it' crap)
