Emotional

Is anyone else really emotional still? I cry multiple times a day at how fast time is going, thinking it was this time last year when I fell pregnant, I can’t cope with how much my baby is growing and struggling to accept when she moves up a nappy and clothing size 🙈 like I literally sob when having to sort through her clothes. My heart hurts at how much I love her to the point I’m feeling sad and overwhelmed. I also have lost interest in doing things.. I would much rather just stay at home with her in our little safe bubble as going out seems to always mess our routine up. Also have lots of feelings of guilt as if I’m not doing enough. She’s 4 and half months old x

Have you spoken to anyone about how you're feeling? Maybe even GP or health visitor?

No I haven’t I’ve just been thinking it’s normal or my hormones. X

I wouldn't like to say what's normal or not as I don't want to come across as being rude, but I've had 2 children and I've never felt like this and I love them with every ounce of me. I think it might be best to speak to GP or something for advice just with you saying that you cry multiple times a day and you don't want to leave the house

Personally I feel this is all quite normal. I don’t maybe feel it to the extreme you do but I defo get upset when I think about my tiny baby and how quickly time is going and I also sometimes feel overwhelmed by the love i have for my son. Don’t forget everyone is different! Xx

PND can peak at this age.. I think because you're talking about feeling overwhelmed and losing interest in things it might be worth reaching out for support. If it's affecting your day to day it's always worth a chat with a professional ❤️.

Don’t feel guilty as I’m sure you shower your baby with all the love she needs! I agree with you, I get very teary & emotional when it’s time for new clothes or he hits a new milestone! It really is so daunting as time does go so quickly! And it’s okay to mourn what you think you’re losing but there’s plenty more around the corner 🎀 I promise you that! On the other hand if you ever need a chat my messages are always open! I know how daunting and overwhelming it can be and I’m sure there are many other people in our position! Don’t be afraid to reach out if you need too and there’s plenty of professional help around if that’s something you want too x
