I've been thinking on what to say to try and help, but I can't think of anything, i struggled a bit with my body image and the way everyone thought it was okay to touch or rub my belly, and i resented that so i was looking forward to having my body back so to speak.
At times i felt like i wasn't bonding or connected to my baby so i would like at the u/s pic and just remind myself that is my baby, and only me and dh can make one just this. I felt silly but sometimes i would talk to picture, like if i bought him some clothes, nursery equipment etc. it was easier to talk to a picture than my stomach.
It sounds like you have put some good strategies in place to help you deal with things this time round.
Good luck hun and remember we are always here xxx
