Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Anyone still dealing with the hormones?

I posted something similar a few days ago but it would really help to know I'm not the only one.  My LO is going to be 1 month old this Friday and I still feel like I'm going crazy sometimes.  I'm either really really anxious or calm and crying.  I hate it!  Plus my skin is still breaking out horribly.  I love my new family so much and I want to be able to fully enjoy this experience, but these feelings keep getting in the way!  It's not ALL day, but it's definitely still there.  Anyone else?

Re: Anyone still dealing with the hormones?

  • My skin is breaking out too.  I do have moments where I feel really upset and then realize there's no reason for it.  Or I'll get mad at my DH for no reason.  So I think the hormones can take quite a while to work themselves out.

    Oops-hit post before I actually typed anything! 

    I was going to say that I definitely am still more emotional too. I think it may also be that we're still going through sleep deprivation, our whole lives are completely different, lack of adult companions during the day (at least for me) and just the face that we're now mothers. I watch (or just hear) about a sick kid, or a child dying and I am a complete mess. Those stories used to make me sad before, but now I imagine if it were MY child and it puts everything into a whole new perspective.

    Hopefully as we become more used to everything, it will calm down. We will get through it! :)

  • Yes your not alone. I have my good days and bad days....it has gotten better but on nights she has her meltdowns it sets me back to feeling anxiety the next night and the feeling like it's not going to get better even though I know it is getting better and she is just doing what babies do. And YES my forehead has broken out like crazy so I know my hormones are crazy right now!
