I will never forget the moment I first laid eyes on my daughter. I don't mean the first time I held her or the first time someone showed her to me, I mean her head had just entered the world during child birth. And in that instant I felt my life change. Like the flip of a switch, I felt my entire soul shift to a new paradigm in an instant.

People that don't understand this are broken and my heart hurts for them. To know and feel the power of this kind of love is unparalleled.

I'd add that it's absolutely normal and ok to feel nothing for your baby in first hours, days, weeks. Many mums are absolutely freaking out around their firstborn and the popular belief that they should now dive in parental love could crush them. I had nothing for my kid for several days to weeks. I was guarding him like insane, but was so overwhelmed and exhausted that love was not there. It's normal to not fall in love, other harmless emotions are also natural
