Ok so I need some advice or something, please! Ever since I had baby k which was a week ago. I have not been feeling myself. Yes I am sad because I miss him being in my belly and I didn't have to share him with anyone but I am also just so happy he is out so I can snuggle his sweet little self. I am on medicine for depression/panic attacks. I just feel some type away and I can't seem to figure out what way that is. Ugh, did anyone feel like this after having their baby? I guess you can say I feel empty inside 😔

First off I'm sorry for you feeling that way. I would suggest talking to your doctor. Sounds like post partum for sure. It's important to feel good and I think by being open and honest with your dr or OB Is the only way to get through this. I will keep you in my prayers and I'm here to talk if you need someone.

I've been there with my second. It goes away with help though. I also saw a therapist as my PPD stemmed from my broken marriage. Very complicated but let's just say that I am very lucky to have the two greatest little boys in the world.

@mommy_of_04, yes I feel like this after I had my daughter but it started when I got home from the hospital, I didn't want nobody to hold her, I didn't want no help, and I have a big family with a lot of boys cousins and brothers, so my daughter was the first girl in 25 years, and I didn't want the boys to come see or touch her... I was a mess literally! 😩😩

I felt the same way as you. Empty, guilt that I wouldn't be able to give equal love to both my boys. My oldest has Autism and was the only child for almost 4 years. Big adjustment for him too. My biggest fear where my anxiety stemmed from, was that of the unknown. What I couldn't control. Plus my husband, (now ex-husband), traveled 90% of the time. He was not there for his scheduled birth. (I was induced at 39 weeks). He decided to go to a trade show the DAY BEFORE he was born. (*insert explicative of your choice here). He then came back early the day after, stayed for 1 week, and flew off to Germany for 2 weeks.
Fast forward to the present... my 2 beautiful boys and I are doing great without him. I have someone in my life who is the best thing that ever happened to my family. My ex-husband is getting married this fall to the woman whom I've speculated he was having an affair with. But, it is all good. Love a lot, live a lot, smile a lot. (And take your happy pills if it pertains to your situation. I do. PTSD, severe anxiety and depressed mood all byproducts of his mental and verbal and physical (a few times) abuse to me and my oldest son. Whew. Wow, I shared quite a bit there. I feel better. 💕👌
