so today i was discharged from the hospital with baby boy, and a range of emotions hit me instantly as soon as i got home. i instantly wanted to cry, became agitated and irritated, and just wanted to be alone. i have my SO, my mother, MIL, and other 3 kids around me but literally I just wanted to be alone. 😔💔

I told everyone no I don’t want visitors. Please don’t take it the wrong way but it’s a huge transition & with little to no sleep, I don’t want guests.. I felt guilty but I’m glad I said no! Plus I had baby blues so bad.. until I felt better, I wasn’t open to visitors.

@lizsouthwick, that's how i felt! i didn't you want to deal with a bunch of people or have a lot of visitors, i just wanted to rest from the transition...feeling real antisocial 🤷🏽♀️

@surprisedmama, ask them to leave & for your husbands support. My baby’s pediatrician noticed my baby blues & we talked about it.. she said I don’t owe anyone time with the baby. If people don’t understand, too bad. Moms mental health is the most important thing during the newborn stage. And, she is right!
