Baby Joseph and i are finally home and I’ve been having anxiety. I don’t want to fall asleep, I just want to keep making sure my baby is doing good. Even though everyone’s telling me to get some rest. I just can’t. Anyone else have this issue?
@phoebesmommy, I cried and I’m glad I have my mom and sister and the apps because everyone is different and have different stories which help
@its.a.bird, lol I almost did that once but I was too self conscious 😂 if we have another baby I’m pretty sure I won’t give a hoot
@its.a.bird, omg! Mine tooooo!!!! Both girls hated skin to skin AND swaddling 😂
@abigaill 100% what @its.a.bird said! Before you know it, you’ll be whipping your boob out and nursing like a pro while you’re folding towels or something crazy
@abigaill, I cried over EVERYTHING. Everything.... it’s such an overwhelming time and I didn’t have my mom to ask questions or any other person I was close to so it was hard. Thank God for mommy apps!!!!
@its.a.bird, that’s how I was but now that I’m home I’m like just checking him nonstop.
@abigaill, it’s ok I just mean don’t feel bad if you’re constantly checking on baby and worried.💜💕 i had so much anxiety when my dd was a newborn. Couldn’t sleep bc I was watching her and I had no idea that newborns made so many grunting sounds while sleeping so I was always ready to get her up.
@its.a.bird just took me down memory lane too bc my number one fear was sleeping thru her cries or if something were to happen. However, I was so hyper alert to every noise she made.
@abigaill, haha just sleep when you can / able to. Like @jazzyjazz, said. Not having enough rest will catch up to you.. on rough nights i just had to remind myself that my little one cannot survive without me, so i gotta stay strong and pull through it.
@its.a.bird, Hahaha foreals! Mine hates the blanket even till now. Those swaddleme things saved my life ( i could not swaddle properly for the life of me )
Lol I agree with the comment above! Cause I still wake up at night to make sure my kids are okay and if they are cold/hot..and I have a 4 year old and 2 year old ..I guess it's just a mom thing..but it's okay catch some shut eye ..I know it's hard at first ,I remember feeling like a zombie since I wasn't sleeping/eating well but your body needs rest
Girl! I still wake up at night checking up on my daughter to see if she is breathing. If she’s hot. Lol i dont know if itll ever end 😖😂
@phoebesmommy, thank you 💕
