being a ftm I feel like I'm worried about absolutely everything and anything, I'm so anxious all of the time, and she's only a week old, any tips on being more positve and not being so anxious?
it's all a learning process just remember that. You baby is learning what they like, what they don't like, and how to tell mommy. And your learning your babies ques. So your going to make mistakes but that is ok, your baby is gonna fuss that's ok. You will learn and it may take a week or so. It is ok, remember that. Your baby is experiencing all sorts of new things! things they've never felt before. Your doing great! the fact that your asking and seeking opinions is great!!
I had my daughter sleep in her carseat for like 2 months because I was sooo scared.. @kayleigh322
@marmber, I am not sure, I think I should talk to my doc about it for sure just don't do well asking for help but I don't want to leave it and not enjoy watching my little girl grow
@kayleigh322, do you think you r suffering from post partum anxiety. I a ftm too and i suffered from anxiety and ppd, medication and talk therapy helped a lot. Also having a good support system helps and going to new mom support group as helped me. My mom comes on the weekend and its a major help as well.
@kayleigh322, i hate asking for help too but i recognized i needed help to be a happy mom for my little girl. That is what prompted me to seek help. Also the feeling of anxiety and depression interferes with the maternal-child bond so even for that reason you should say something. Do it for your little girl.
