Baby Vinny is here!

hello all! My Cinco De Mayo baby, was delivered by C-Section on April 18th! He was was 5lbs 13oz, 19 inches long! Preeclampsia was starting to settle in, that's why we went early! Baby is good, however, I'm having a hard time settling in at home. I suffer from anxiety, and it's been a quite the roller coaster with the anxiety, cold and hot sweats, and everything else.
Does anyone have any tips for managing this anxiety, the hot and cold sweats, and just the first few days at home? Thank you!

  • I don't, but as a fellow anxiety sufferer hope to read some good ones. I suppose the most helpful thing I can say is that it will pass. Anxiety and the attacks won't last forever, so as horrible as they seem, ride through them and know you'll come out on the other side. Sending you positivity!

  • Congrats!!! Things will work out- just hang in there. Other than the anxiety- how are things with the new baby?
  • Congrats! I had bad anxiety with my first daughter. It really helped that my friend came over and helped me with baby and kept me busy with good conversation and card games anythingto kill the anxiety. As long as iIhad someone to talk to iI was ok
  • I don't have any advice, but I wanted to say Congratulations on the birth of your baby!!!
  • Thank you everyone! Things are moving along, I'm starting to settle down a little bit more. Last night was horrible however, little man was up from 11-3:30 AM with gas, and boy was he ever loud! I'm hoping that tonight will be better, because we could both use the sleep! He tired himself out so much, that he slept through a feeding. Other than that, I'm been trying to keep busy, so I don't fall victim to any more anxiety attacks. Man, they really suck! I think the more the days go by, and we establish a routine, the better I'll feel. You ladies have been great, thank you so much!!
