****Warning - Vent - sorry in advance for being a downer*********** Ok - please all tell me Im normal. I just cant stop crying and Im so scared because Im just feeling so clueless about everything....like when she wont sleep for more than 1 hour at a time during the day for the last week, when she wont attach properly when Im feeding etc etc etc......My mum and sister are such "natural" mums and here i am crying down the phone to my mum nearly every day because I dont feel like Im coping and dont know what to do. DH is great but he think i need to be "stronger" and "have i been drinking enough water- maybe my milk is running out etc...like I need that pressure too. I also feel like Im never going to be able to leave this house - even when i can drive - Im too scared to take her anywhere in case it messes up whatever routine we are in....
Anyway just wanted to share with you guys because hopefully you will understand, Im sure its not PND?? i dont have any bad feelings about Izzy, more jsut about myself and the fact that I feel so clueless when things go a bit pear shaped ?? maybe baby blues - dunno.
Sorry for lack of personals although i will say welcome Mel and congratulations on the birth of Theo- and sorry for this crappy post.
Thanks for the vent ladies and hope you are all well..talk soon.
Hey guys dont have much time except to say welcome to Mel and Theo and massive hugs to you Tan. Give youself abreak honey you are a great mum and you are doing so well. Things will fall into place and you will start to feel more confident soon. Lack of sleep will send you balmy so im sure that is all that is up, but maybe you can give your health nurse a call for some advice? As for routine, just enjoy your precious bundle now cause they grow so quickly, while its important to have some things in place just understand that its early days and nothing you do at the moment will ruin anything. Do you have a friend or someone who can visit you and maybe take you out? Big hugs!!!
