Forum : Mums

steph, i just commented on your other thread, but it's good that you have started a new one!

i put on your other thread that this is totally normal to feel like this on day 3-4. it is hormones - the baby blues starts when you milk comes in (it's all down to hormones). you will feel better in a couple of days when things start to settle. i know it's hard for now (as i told you i burst into tears when my boobs leaked on my feet when i got out of the shower!). you arent a bad mum, this is totally normal. please dont worry. x

just wish i cud enjoy bein a mum xx

Hi Steph, its all normal like Shelly said - I used to cry every time jessica cried and we were having problems feeding too I felt so useless and didn't have a clue what I was doing! And you've been ill and back in hospital again so its not surprising that you are feeling low! You've been through a lot, and hormones are all over the place. It will start to feel better in a day or two, and the feeding will get easier too, don't be hard on yourself you're doing a great job and lee is being amazing looking after you both, you'll feel so different this time next week you won't believe it!
Big hugs!! xx

you will - this time next week you'll be feeling a lot more positive. the first few days/week is always hard - it is a massive adjustment and your hormones are all over the place. you are probably still sore, you've just ended up back in hospital as well. just take your time and dont beat yourself up - you certainly arent a bad mum, hormones have a massive effect and you will feel better, trust me. i've done it before but i am still anxious over the first few days when this little one arrives - not scared of labour at all but i know how emotional and difficult those early days are. you do get over it. - one day you'll wake up and just feel brilliant about the whole thing.

i have been snapping at lee 2day bless him. dont feel like me nd kian have bonded xx

he's only 4 days old - at the end of the day what does "bonding" feel like? in the week after olivia was born, i just felt exhausted, in pain, like a milk machine, couldnt stop crying, certainly didnt feel like a mum. once your feeding gets easier and hormones are settling, you'll be sat feeding him, look down at him and realise that everything is fine!

hi, it is totally normal to feel down, its baby blues, i cried for around 4 weeks after birth for no reason, if you breastfeed it can also add to it as you are tired and its new to you, have a good cry it always helps, i used to talk to my baby about how i feel and when i looked at his little face i couldn't help but smile, keep your chin up, things will get better hope you are ok, we are all here so feel free to let your feelings out, we have been there and understand, big hugs xx

oh how wonderful! x

feel so alone even tho i have him xx

thanks every1 4 bein there xx
