My baby is 8 days old now and I've been getting anxiety and feeling really down every time it gets dark out. I feel lonely at night when I'm up with him by myself but my husband works really hard and needs to sleep. How do I cope with this feeling? Does it go away?
definatly been there. 2 months later I'm still there now. I'm the only one that gets up in the middle of the night and it's rough and I definitely get lonely but you have to try to enjoy it. think of it as bonding time with the baby. I know it gets stressful but just remember this is all temporary. things will get easier.
I know the struggle ...it's so difficult, it makes me not want to have another child. the sleep deprivation gets to me at night yet in the day I want more kids. I hope you feel better
I don't feel like it's pp depression... I'm fine during the day. I'm hoping it's just a phase that passes. My mom also left for the first time since he was born today so I think I'm also feeling upset about that. @debbiecakez22
