To be honest theres not really a cause. In some cases it's stress or problems with birth. Some mothers think it's normal to not have any feelings for their baby at first but when the feeling of 'love' doesn't start to grow they know there is something wrong. Postnatal depression is usually a side effect or problems giving birth to their newborn. Heavy bleeding can cause stress and they feel that it is the child's fault for all the problems.
