I miss my husband :(

I had my baby girl 3 days ago and my husband went back to work and all I have been doing is crying' I miss him so much and I feel terrible because he thinks I'm not happy that our daughter is here. Everytime I think of him or talk to him I go in to tears I feel so far apart from him he works from 9am-8:30pm and it's so hard I constantly have this knot on my throat because I feel so emotional

Re: I miss my husband :(

  • You're going through the wringer right now!  The postpartum emotions are no joke.  Try to go easy on yourself and him.  I haven't cried so much in my life as in those first few weeks out - you just can't help it.  It'll pass soon!

  • I gave birth last night and today my hubby stayed with us at the hospital. He left with our older 3 kids at 8 to get them home and in bed. I miss him already so much. I have also been crying. He has to work tomorrow so I won't see him again until tomorrow after 4.
    I totally get how horrible it is to miss DH!
  • :( I am so sorry. It stinks he can't get more than 3 days off. Can someone (mom, sister, bff) come hang out for a good couple hours at least?
  • I go to my mom's in the morning but it's not the same... I feel so overwhelmed. My baby has been crying and Idk what's wrong with her so I start crying it's not cause she's hungry or dirty diaper she just been crying for no reason
  • I seriously cried for ten days after my son was born. I would be overwhelmed by the smallest things and let my emotions get the better of me everytime. I knew it wasn't rational, it was just hard to cope. Motherhood is amazing and wonderful and a privledge and it's also really really hard. It can be isolating and even more so when it's new. What you're experiencing is totally normal. If you're still having a hard time coping in a few weeks, please go see someone sooner rather than later. It's hard to know the difference between regular "baby blues" versus post partum depression when you've never been through anything like this before. And don't feel guilty! Just because you feel this way, it doesn't mean you don't love your child. It just means you need more support right now.
  • I am so sorry youre dealing with this. I am the exact same way! Our baby girl is 11 days old. We spent the first week in the hospital. My husband wrks all day so im alone and then she doesnt sleep at night unless shes on my chest. I just want to sleep in bed with him again. I cry all the time. Fingers crossed it gets better!!! Xxx

    I feel like I annoy him because I'm always calling him and it makes me so sad because he dosent spend enough time with our daughter
  • I'm so glad to see this post! I am feeling exactly the same.
  • My husband tells me itll all be okay. And i know it will. I know this is temporary. But i feel bad literally sittng around the house all day while he works. I guess i was naive in not thinking our relationship would change. Hes amazing though. And i guess i should embrace the change.
  • I was a wreck when my husband went to work. He's gone a minimum of 12 hours on days he works and since my DD was born over a month ago, he's work an 8 day stretch and is just finishing up a 7 days stretch. It has gotten a lot easier, but when I think about going back to work myself, I feel like the 3 of us will never be together at the same time except for sleeping!
  • I miss my boyfriend too, had our son oct 14 by emergency c section, he left to go back to work oct 16th in the morning, except he's gone for 2-3 weeks straight in the middle of the ocean with no cell service, barley any phone calls :( ! It is brutal and sucks especially with our hormones returning to normal.
  • Its so hard. I think i was really naive. Everyone ive know that had babies made it look so easy. Im thinking my hormones are starting to level out at 11days pp. Theres a lot less crying on my part. Im trying to remind myself that this too shall pass. Easier times are ahead. Its just really hard giving and giving and giving and not getting anything back. I cant wait for the time she looks at me and actually sees me. I know that sounds selfish.
  • I'm so glad I'm not the only one dealing with this. I'm normally not an emotional person at all,even when I was pregnant I wasn't but the past two days I have been super emotional. My fiance works 10pm-7am so he sleeps during the afternoons so I feel like I never see him. I cried when he left for work tonight. I can't wait for Monday, his day off.
