Don’t feel bond with my newborn

I went thru emergency c-section and currently my husband takes care of our baby fully, with the help of my MIL too, while i recover. It’s been a week. My baby is on full FM. Is it normal that i don’t feel the bond with my baby? Even when i bottle feed him once in a while or hold him, i dont feel like he’s my baby. I feel like im just helping someone else’s baby. I don’t feel the “love” or connection with him. And when he cries, only my husband and MIL can settle him down. I tried doing skin to skin but baby cried. Plus i am not enjoying motherhood. Altho im not doing much as a “mother”. Im worried baby won’t know who’s his mother and would take it as im just a stranger, especially when he’s starting to recognise smell Anybody went thru the same ? #FTM #firstbaby
