Crying and feeling lonely

[Kyla]

Hi ladies,

I've been suffering with the baby blues for about a week now, and I'm worried because I had PND last time which went undiagnosed. I've been feeling lonely on BnB since giving birth, like I've moved on from the 3rd tri board with nowhere to go and I think that's made me feel low too, so I'm glad to have found this board. I really miss reading about people's journeys that I have shared since 1st trimester, just wish BnB had a 0-3 months Baby Club.

Also, I am getting so emotional about everything, as every congratulations on the new baby card arrived, I'd read the message and then sob with the sentiments. I'll gaze at my lovely son and feel so emotional with love for him, I'll end up crying some more - is anyone else feeling the same?

Thanks ladies. I think feeling down when I am supposed to be happy compounds things and I am so tired. Hopefully things will get better with time Xx

I'm right there with you. I'm actually laying in bed now avoiding my family because it's so bad today. My parents move out of the country in less than two weeks so we did a big dinner and my oldest sister was picking over little things that just made me shut down and then when I tried to sit at dinner she and her new bf took all the seating for, leaving my husband with no where to sit despite saving a spot for my husband. So I excuse myself and would rather not eat. I guess I'm more irritated because they did it to me on Valentine's day.... With the dinner I spent all evening making and I had to sit in the other room alone while everyone else ate. I don't feel depressed, just teary eyed and would rather be alone, just baby and I.

I know how you feel. After DD was born I had terrible baby blues for newarly 3 weeks. I had so many questions but got to the point I didn't want to ask family as I got paranoid they thought I was a bad mom (still do some days) and when I did speak to them I would be in floods of tears. I missed the comfort of 3rd tri where I knew I could post a question and people would answer instantly. whereas on the baby club and postnatal it seems to take longer.
It does get better. but if you dont feel that the days are getting better speak to you HV- they are there to help.
