... Like to stop crying now please. I don't want to be this emotional mess anymore..don't want to risk stressing my husband out, and then him leave me cos I can't handle being a mum.

Thought having a new baby was supposed to be a happy time.

How old is your baby? It could be the baby blues! I was an emotional wreak when I had it! x x

1 week old! When everyone is out of the house and I am left to my own devices I seem to be alright as I just get on and do some cleaning. Just seems when everyone is about I get anxious, teary and very tired.

To befair this is the first time, right now, that I have been left on my own with Evie. So it's not really a good indication of whether or not I'm less emotional. But I seem to be copping at the mo..perhaps it's cos I have to?

I'm better in control when I'm on my own! I have my own routine with the kids and get on with things then as soon as OH is back things goes tits up!
Try not to do things to make other people happy, do things at your own pace with the baby! It's hard to start off with but your get there x x

I was an emotional wreck for the first 10 days or so, kept bursting into tears for no reason! i was allot better once OH was back at work and i could do things as and when i wanted xx

I have never really been one to cry but i would say for the first 10-14 days I would cry and have no idea why, I was so happy but could not control the emotions. I was told it was all the hormones settling down. The following week I was all better. Take care and just let the tears out, i'm sure it will all go away soon.

hun i had this for 4 weeks. I didnt really realise then that i was depressed but i was crying in secret and didnt want to be a mum. But when there was ppl around i did what i had to do to look like i wanted to have a baby.
I think that for me it was the whole labour thing and i didnt bond with Noa for a little while. But when i got over that, oh my.. i LOVE being a mum now!
