I haven't had my baby yet but my midwife said just to pay attention to your emotion. If you start feeling hopeless and like you want to abandon your child that's a red flag. Also the people who know you or are around you should pay attention and pick up on any red flags and talk to you about it . Never hurts to talk to your doctor if you think you do also. Reaching out is one of the best things you can do, they're there to help. I've struggled a little with depression over the years, so it was one of the first things I asked about.
I never want to abandon my son I just have been really sad lately. I got put on bed rest and so I can't pick my oldest son up and it drives me crazy! All I want to do is take care of him and hold him. Plus I can't work so money is super bad right now its just a lot all at once and everyone keeps telling me not to stress out but its hard not to. @cmbwalker
It might help to have someone come over and help you out with some stuff. That way you can have some time to relax. Journaling has worked for me in the past. Or writing short stories or drawing might help too since you're in bed rest. My midwife had me add a vitamin D3 and a B6 complex to my regimen because supposedly they help increase happy hormones and combat ppd.
My husbands mom watches him while my husband is at work. I would rather be the one taking care of him. I will have to talk to my doctor about the vitamins. Thank you! @cmbwalker
Ah I bet it is hard not being able to do the things you used to with him. Things will get better. I'm sure he still loves you 🙂 hopefully I could be of some help.
