Overwhelmed

[beckyboo1]

I'm sure everyone is going to tell me this is normal but yesterday and today at times I just feel overwhelmed with it all and start getting upset

I know it's only 4 days since I gave birth but I feel like everything is surreal.

My poor hubby just doesn't know what to do as I can't even describe why I'm crying. He's been the perfect dad and husband and is doing everything for me and Harry in the house

Feel upset that I upset him with my crying as I know he feels like its his fault

Someone please tell me this feeling goes soon.

I love hubby and Harry so much but just don't know what to do or say when I get these feelings xx

It is Normal hunni it feels so awful at the time because you can't control it but hey, you've just been through a life Changing experience plus what feels like a marathon (the birth) your sleep has now been broken and you now how this little bundle of joy which us now your responsibility

It is completely overwhelming but as time goes on it will all change from overwhelming to incredibly proud

I remember when I was in hospital the midwife came up and said 'is everything ok, baby is crying' I said 'I know' burst into tears and proceeded to tell her that I don't know him lol so how the hell was I meant to know what to do lol

Give your OH a big cuddle grab a cuppa xxxxx

Hun I was like this for nearly 3 weeks . Becoming a mum was a huge shock I didn't realise how hard it was but it does get better I promise you xxxx

thanks ladies...i think its hard cos i just can't explain to hubby why i'm crying...there is no reason!

We've always talked about everything and talked but this is just so different.

Don't think it helps that i think i'm slightly anaemic and haven;t been out of house since we got home from hospital

It is completely normal! Its just about the biggest life change there is let alone the hormones and everything you body has been through. I cried a lot the first few weeks! Just know that it does get much easier. We are all here for you!

Sounds like the baby blues have hit you. I spent a few days crying my eyes out and couldn't explain why. The slightest thing would set me off. What you've described is completely normal hun, you'll start feeling more like your normal self soon hun.

Even at this ridiculous times of the morning having spent what feels like most of the night feeding my little man I know I can do this as I have so much love for my little family.

Going to try and get out today if only for 20 mins for done fresh air x

Getting out and about really does help trust me. I have cried loads since giving birth, falling into a pit of hormonal despair every day just about. I found it better to let the tears come rather than try to fight them, it's pretty much out of our control. My tears have stopped and I'm now experiencing some strange animalistic protectiveness over my son and OH but I think this is more to do with the MIL than anything else.......the female of the species and all that lol

Ha ha BB You always make me laugh. Midwife has been. Mothercare delivery has come (;crib for the big lad) so looks like we're in for getting out this afternoon x

this is completely normal! i thikn its happened to basically all of us! mine seems to have stopped now, but i would literally cry over everything and for no reason it was tough. the beginning bit is the hardest!! im on week 4 as of tomoro and its already feeling loads and loads better

remember were all here if you have worries. getting out of the house will help massively! hope you start feeling better soon, my best bit of advice would be dont put pressure on yourself to do EVERYTHING, take things slow, be a bit lazy, sleep as much as possible and dont feel like you shouldnt be upset- its so so normal
