Advice please?!

in Postpartum Depression

I am 36 weeks along. my husband recently took a trip for three days to a clinic for coaches. my grandma came and stayed with me for those days. we live 4.5 to 5 hours away from our families. she left this morning and I missed her as soon as we stopped hugging. I had a long 5 hour wait for my hubby to get home where I just cried and cried and now I don't feel like doing anything. even though my husband is everything to me, I'm still finding myself wanting my grandma. I'm worried that this is going to happen when my mom or another relative comes to help out with the baby. then I'm scared for what will happen when I need to take care of him and can't pull myself out of it. any advice?

    dont be scared ask for help. its normal for you to crave your mom and grandma, i'm sure they probably went through it too. the maternal bond is very strong. let them know that you are craving their mommy assistance. after you get the hang of caring for your baby you might not want them around much any more. my LO is 16 mnths old and i still call my momma to say "is this normal?". spend as much time with your mother and grandma as you can and get all the advice they are willing to give, even the advice you dnt plan on using. hope this helps :-)
