Lila update

Update from the other night... Lila slept fine and was acting fine the following morning, but coincidentally she spiked a fever and started getting pretty fussy by late morning, so I did end up taking her to the doctor for that, just to make sure it wasn't her ears or something (thankfully it wasn't... just a fever, which is fine now).  Since we were there anyway, I mentioned my concerns about how hard Charlotte stepped on her and that I had called the nurse line the day before and the doctor pushed on her belly and everything and said he didn't think there was anything to be worried about. 

Thanks for the all the advice the other night ladies, and for asking how she is doing.  I never used to be one to panic so much, but lately I panic and worry about every little thing.  I even talked to my midwife friend the other day about how panicky I get.  She said it's common and she could give me a referral for someone to talk to, but she said she doesn't think I'm coping abnormally (she's seen me post-partum) and that I need to just give myself more time.

I was wondering how your little Lila was doing   Sorry she has a fever, but glad that she is okay from the stepping scare.

Glad she's ok!  I remember feeling a lot of anxiety and panicky after Charlotte was born. I ended up going on Lexapro for a while just to make my mind calm down. It definitely helped!

Glad to hear Lila is doing OK...hope she continues to feel better.

I definitely encourage you to follow through with your midwife's recommendation to talk with someone. It really helped me postpartum.
