Oh no, sweetie. Hang in there.
With both my last 2 they were perfect angels until about the 2-3 week mark. I think they take a while to sleep off their birth or something. Then they wake up. And be normal babies.
It must be incredibly hard being on your own for so long and so far from friends. Stay in your jarmies all day if you feel like it. Maybe you can get hold of a Hug a Bub so baby can be close to you and you can keep your hands free?
Are you living in an isolated area? Can you speak to your MCHN about a new mums group? Most areas try to get new mums together and this may help.
Have you had a look in the October Baby Buddies thread? I'm sure the girls there are probably going through the same as you - I did, but it was a long time ago now. My Buudy group kept me sane for a long time.
Also have a long inthe local members section - you may be able to find someone close you can have a coffee with.
Please, please come in here anytime you can if you need to further de-brief. At any time of the day or night I can guarantee there will be a BB member pacing the floor with a screaming bubba.....They can be so demanding, but this time WILL pass. In fact that's a favourite saying around here.
