Baby Blues

MErskine

Anyone struggling with the baby blues? I delivered on July 2nd and after a few days i was hit with all these emotions! I cry ALL the time! Over anything... feeling guilty that I want to stop pumping (I stopped at the breast feedings after getting a painful blister 6 days after the birth), thinking about how much I love my new baby, sleep exaustion... the list goes on and on. Anyone else feeling this way? I've also been experiencing anxiety when I'm home alone with the baby, and I'm scared to leave the house alone with him. I'm constantly checking on him for every sound, or lack there of. My womb was so safe and now he's out... I don't want anything to happen to him! I know these feelings are normal for new moms in the first few weeks after delivery, but I just feel like a big cry baby all the time. I've taken care of so many infants in the past for family and friends. Why am I so scared with my own??
