Is this the beginning?

My daughter will only be 2 weeks old on Thursday, and I started out ok.  Now I'm so overwhelmed I cry with her sometimes.  My SO works 3rd shift so its me me me all the time with her.  Which I love to be with her and take care of her its not that.  I'm by myself all day because SO  has to sleep for work during the night, then I'm by myself all night with DD and I'm so tired and burnt out.  I find myself getting mad at SO (even though I haven't went as far as making it known to him) because he never helps me.  I just feel alone sometimes I feel like a single mom.  I feel terrible for saying that and I feel bad that I get sad doing things I'm suppose to do for DD.  So I just wondered if this maybe baby blues, or beginning of PPD.  Is it to early  to be getting PPD?

    Sounds like the baby blues. Sorry he doesnt help more. Mine works weird hours so I get very little help sometimes too. PPD can develope from after birth to even a year later but usuaully you will feel detached from your baby, have intrusive thoughts, bad anxiety(thats mostly what I deal with) and a bunch more. Just keep an eye on it and mention it to your doctor def next time. It soooo overwhelming esp the beginning. Maybe ask a friend or family member to swing by for help. Im sure that would fix a lot. GL and congrats!!

    Maybe your friends cancome visit, or you can join a mom's group.

    I totally understand your loneliness. But keep an eye out on symptoms of ppd.

    xoxo
