i cry at least once a day and sometimes its jus from being overwhelmed. my husband thinks i need to talk to someone about depression. its been 2 weeks since having the baby and i dont want to leave the house bc im bfeeding every 2 hours. its just inconvinient and honestly i dont feel like i have a hang on this yet. i dont really want to be struggling to soothe her in public... am i depressed? is this normal not to want to leave the house? i feel fine as far as not wanting to hurt myself or baby. jus very emotional. im giving my all right now.

Totally normal mama. My baby girl is 6 weeks today and I still cry because of how hard it is. The leaps and growth spurts are really hard. My daughter is nursing every hour and I hate getting out of the house due to breastfeeding. But I also hate being in my house now. At two weeks postpartum I didn't want to leave. I was only comfortable at home. Defiantly go on walks. I took my daughter yesterday and she slept for two hours. I'm not going to lie, it does get worse before it gets better. I'm currently waiting for the part where it gets better. I was bawling my eyes out this morning because my daughter was fighting sleep so she got fussy & I couldn't get her to sleep. Most days I feel like I'm not cut out to be a mom, but I know it's the sleep deprivation getting to me. If you need anybody to talk to I'm here for you. It's nice being able to talk to fellow mommies who are going through the same thing. Can I add you on Facebook so that I can add you to a breastfeeding support group? They've helped me in so many ways.
thank you ladies. even reading ur comments makes me cry. im such a mess! @madelyne20 @yourmodernmomma
Yes! I cried almost every day for a few weeks. The first month is hard. You lose sleep, are responsible for a life, you can barely shower or eat. Its okay to cry it out. Being a mom is so overwhelming at first. Try going for small walks or just quick trips to the store with your man. Its small but I swear it kept my sanity. My baby is two months and now were all better and got our schedules down. I say wait a few more weeks til things settle, if you dont begin to feel better then seek a little help. You made a tiny human. You're incredibly strong and dont forget that!
I wouldn't say normal but you're still adjusting. Their judgments don't matter! as long as your baby is healthy and happy. It took me until about a week ago to return to a some what normal mood and my baby is 7 weeks. Give yourself time and try not to stress out. Relax.
i feel like anyone i hang around is constantly judging. is it normal to still be crying this much after 2 weeks? @madelyne20
I rarely enjoy leaving the house. My baby gets fussy sometimes when we leave and I feed her in the car or walk around bouncing her which puts her to sleep. It sounds like you need someone to. Maybe try going on walks too often if you have a stroller.
I think the first 6-8 wks is SO hard, and this was my second! Your hormones are everywhere, you're tired, hungry, overwhelmed. But it will pass with time. And I remember with my first it was intimating at first going out because he nursed every 2-3 hrs too, but after a couple of times you get the hang of it and don't think anything of it.
