Feel alone but have amazing DH and DS

aries21

i still feel so alone. besides my DH we do not have any help really. we have friends but no one really offered to help and i feel the ones that have is more of a superficial oh do u need anything - no. ok. lets move on type of thing. my husband is great and he helps when he comes home but i just feel so helpless and tired and i want to sleep. everywhere i read it says accept help that comes your way but we do not have any and i keep thinking about putting LO in daycare when he is so little and work and money and it's just getting unbearable.

I feel the same. Like the walls are closing in but I am lucky and we had a lot of help esp in the beg. My best advice is get out! Even just walk around a target or dollar store. It helps to see how much people awww over your LO. I keep wanting to go to work just to get away so I can actually miss LO. I feel like since Im always here I never can even miss her but SO really wants me to stay home and refuses to leave her in Daycare (which given the stories you can here I dont blame him). Just try to get out or get time to yourself. Can you work from home?

Talk to your OB, it did me wonders!  Good luck.

This is exactly how I felt after my first son and I find myself traveling down the same road again.  I waited 2 weeks to call my dr. with the first pregnancy.  This time I had the appt made in advance..just in case and I'm glad I did.

Getting out and about is a start. But a call to your PCP or OB  would probably be a good thing.  It's so hard to deal with this alone, it will only make you feel more isolated.  What you're experiencing is normal
Mommy;s need support too.
