Since having a baby has anyone else found that they are really emotional >? I never used to show my emotions at all & hardly ever cry but since having Aimee Iv found emotions I never knew I had. This prob sound silly but last night I was playing with Aimee & she was all smiles and laughing then I started doing peek a boo (which she normally finds quite amusing) and all of a sudden her bottom lip really started to go and her eyes welling up. There was no noise for a while then she started to REALLY cry. She looked so sad. I dont know what I did wrong I must have startled her I felt so bad for upsetting her I started to cry too, I still feel bad & keep thinking she doesnt like me for upsetting her. I know its silly. Has any of you felt like this or am I just an emotional wreak?!
I've also been very emotional since having Oscar. I think it's quite normal, but I know what you mean about making her cry. I have startled Oscar once or twice and he got really upset. I felt heartbroken for his sake............ shame - best of all is the forgiveness they show when they smile at us the next minute!!! Don't worry about it. You're her number one person! Emilia xx
aww hun *hugz* the way ur feeling is completly normal! its prob just a mixture of so much change new baby new routines new feelings and getting used to everything! just let nature take its toll have a good cry (prob feel better after too ) if you are really concerned about it try talking to your health visitor as they will keep an eye on you for signs of postnatal depression too hope ur feeling better soon!
I'm the same!! I cry if Phoebe is really upset and I can't soothe her I think it's a natural reaction. We are designed to nurture them so we would be sad if they are sad
Yes totally and I hate violent films now and often cry at the news! My OH did exactly the same to Elliott a couple of weeks ago when he blew a raspberry on his tummy. He'd always liked it before but this time the lip went and then he cried for ages. OH felt so guilty but I think it was just that Elliott had suddenly become loads more sensitive and more "kid like" in the way that he reacted and it was just one raspberry too many! +++
I over reacted in the shop. Seren was crying in her usual subdued way and these girls were going on how much they hate kids. OH had to hold me back, I was so angry as they were aiming their comments at my little girl who was hungry. I hate seeing her upset too, makes me really sob and she has more jabs on weds.
all the time...I cry everytime I can't sooth my little froggynet!! Sometimes, I even look at her and same thing she will start making a face or cry and I will fel very very bad about it...I even made a post about it, as it went so bad I thought she hated me I am quite emotional as well, if I watch a movie or any thing even in the street, I can start crying! Ah also, sometimes I play with Maheen and she is fine, and looks at me, and start a smile, and that also will make me cry!!! i am a crying mummy!!!!! Mel xx
I am the same, I well up when Ella is crying and also when she is happy and smiling aswelll! becuase it makes me happy and sooo proud of her
Thank god for that, thought I was loosing the plot! Its good to know its normal (or we all have surging hormones!) I found myself welling up in Sainsbury last night reading a mothers day card I dont think its depression as im not sad all the time. I suppose you dont like upsetting anyone, especially your own child. x
