Do you feel like you have similarities to your other parent
Hi!
I’m a 28 yo female and me and my partner (38f) just booked my first doctors appointment towards starting a family. I will be the one carrying and all that comes with it, as my wife can’t due to previous condition.
With that said, I’m scared my wife feels left out both through out the pregnancy and our baby’s life. We have talked about it and mainly, she’s scared of not seeing similarities between them.
From what I’ve seen of people who have for example been adopted, they still seem to repeat their parents walking style, subtle gestures, way of thinking and so on.
So my questions are mainly to those who were conceived the same way (everyone’s answer is very much welcomed) - Do you feel differently towards your parents? Do you see similarities even without shared genetics? How is your relationship today and throughout your upbringing?
