wondering if I might belong here too.

cdmiesuk · January 2012

I don't know, but I have been pretty down lately. It could be from the nasty grey pacific northwest weather, too, but I am having doubts about that.

Basically, Q is not sleeping well at all. Up every couple of hours, every night. He is usually up for the day by 5 or 5:30, too. I am definitely exhausted, but I think there may be more to it. I love my baby very much, but I find myself wishing for my old life back, and then I feel awful for thinking that way. I also feel like I am not as connected to him as I should be.

Also I have been having serious intimacy issues throughout my whole PG and still today. I don't even want to kiss or hold hands, let alone do the deed. I want to be able to be intimate again, and enjoy it, and I want to be generally happy. But I am just not. Ideas?

The way I see it, any time the feelings are seriously impacting your life, it is worth looking into. I mean, you know yourself, and if you think it is more than just being tired, then it probably is.

Also, I am with you 100% on the intimacy thing. DH and I have not DTD since my DD was conceived, which was November of 2010. When he tries to kiss me, I flinch. And when I was at my worst, I seriously felt like I hated him. So I understand where you are coming from, and no, it is probably not something you can just get over.

I really think that all of that, combined with not feeling connected to your LO, really warrants a call to your doctor. I mean, it may be just a rough patch, but I just feel it is better to find out for sure than to live unhappily, especially since these are all things that you want to fix.

Hope that helped somewhat, and I hope you start to feel better soon. And know that you are not at all alone.
