Tasha, huge hugs. I've been following your journey along with many others and TOTALLY know your pain, anxiety and worry. I will be back later to post more but in the meantime, in case you're up and worried, please read my post from 2009 when my DD1 was about the same age as your DD. I can happily say we survived Parenting is awesome, things do get better, a WHOLE lot better, and although DD2 was a terror from 5-9 months at night, she really did seem easy as the shock wasn't there, we kinda knew what we were doing. And we knew that the good out weighs the bad and all the 'stages' are actually short lived. The light does shine brightly at the end of the tunnel - I, along with thousands of other mummies, PROMISE this to you.

Here's my post when DD1 was only about 7 weeks old: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ss-mum-115310/

I'll be back to fill you in on DD1 and what we did and what saved my sanity. For now hon, please take a big breath and remember you are not alone. It's a huge shock but what you're experiencing is totally normal
