Postpartum depression is nothing nice. My case is very mild. I don't want to hurt my child or anything out of line, but I do get these fits where I cry relentlessly because she cries, and feel like a horrible mom cus I don't know what she wants or needs. I love my little girl to death! but I feel like we don't have a bond. And I feel that way because I had a c-section and I didn't see her for an hour after she was born. She spent time and held her dads finger first and they are best freaking friends already! It's just been a huge transition bringing baby home and I don't think I've settled in yet...

I understand momma! I didn't realize it at the time but I'm pretty sure I suffered from the baby blues right after my first.. I know now that I must have had a touch of it because I didn't have those feelings at all after my second one.. The worst part is the guilt you feel for feeling unworthy or a failure at being a mother... or even resenting your baby...

Here for you mama!!💗 Its so hard when they are so small, it will get better TRUST me. Its a hard journey but its worth it. Theres so much fun stuff ahead as she gets older and it goes by so fast. I remember all my daughter did when she was little was cry and cry and cry and I was so tired & stressed out😩 I was overwhelmed. But it gets easier (sort of) lol but the love will only grow into something unbreakable and out of this world❤️

@karnawest, it's hard. I had my first c section & I felt my husband bonded first. Be strong -- & be so thankful she has a father. Sadly, fathers are not there for moms or babies. You are a great mother & you have a good father. Be strong sister!

@karnawest, yeah I hate feeling this way. I know its not intentional and its just my mind playing with me but man oh man. I'm glad my doctor diagnosed me when I was still in the hospital.

@allierodriguez That's good that your doctor recognized it and is doing something about it. Like you I would have never hurt my baby but I was definitely depressed.
