Emotional 🥹

Totally normal!! I was so shocked to find I was more possessive than I thought I’d be. It’s instinctual! Mine has only slowly started getting better at 6 months 😂

I got like this with my first! Anytime someone else held her I’d get this feeling of intense rage and jealousy , not sure why, there was no specific reason for it but I’d say it’s pretty normal considering you’ve single-handedly grown this little human for 9 months and 5 weeks is still very early on, you’ll be feeling everything so intensely, when I had my second it was completely different, this is your first experience being a mum, don’t feel bad for it❤️

@Amber Field I was starting to think it was just me so glad it’s not😭 Just can’t stop it and I don’t want people to hate me but I just want her to myself😂😂

I've had 3 babies and I can honestly say I've never felt this way

@Beth I’m so glad it’s not just me. I just feel so attached and so emotional that she’s already 5 weeks. I want people to hold her I do but when they do I just feel like I want her back🥹

I also get this way, but am trying to work on letting my mom watch my girl for an hour or two so I can spend time with my husband alone. Also going to try to see a movie with my brother and nieces on Tuesday and let my sister in law watch her… wish me luck!

I’m at 8 months PP and I still feel like this, even with his dad. I have awful separation anxiety and I never leave him, there’s no explaining it, people think I’m crazy and OTT but I can’t help it x

@Jennifer I want to try I really do but I just feel scared maybe a little bit not that I don’t trust people just don’t want to miss her🤦🏽‍♀️good luck!!!🥰

@Lottie I’m fine with my husband it’s just other people in general, I feel odd I never thought I would be like this but it’s hitting me🤦🏽‍♀️

@Rebecca that’s good!😊

@Sarah I’m definitely not sure I’ll make it through the movie 😂 between needing to pump and missing her, I’m driving separately lol

@Jennifer oh don’t it would make me feel worried😭 I don’t even want to go and get my hair,lashes or nails done

My baby is 6.5 months old and i’m still like this. I think alot of it is that its people that haven’t really bothered with us then they come round and it annoys me!

I feel like this and i really didn’t expect it, i hate watching people other than my fiancé hold him🙆‍♀️ I am okay with my mum but i feel like i can grab him back from her whenever i want! It’s honestly put me off seeing people as i feel like the expectation is that they get a cuddle and it makes me feel sick 😭

Doesn’t matter if breast or bottle feeding this is a totally normal way to feel. 💙❤️

Mine is 9 months and I feel like this daily….welcome to motherhood 😆

I’m still feeling this way at 4 months 😅

@Rachel oh yes I see what you’re saying that would annoy me too! I hope it gets easier 🤦🏽‍♀️

@Louisa omg I’m so glad I feel exactly the same. Oh it’s so bloody annoying. I don’t want people to hate me or get mardy but I just can’t help it.

@Jade thank you so much

@Karolina 😅😅 thank you

@Meg so glad it’s not just me

I feel the same way and it’s been 9 weeks

@Phylicia 😅😅😅😅

Sooo normal

@Sarah i know same!! At the start i’d offer a cuddle to people so i could get it over with but i never offer anymore

I’m the same as @Rebecca I’ve never felt the need or want to hold him all the time. I was more than happy for people to be round holding him and playing with him etc, however when he cries I do want him back as I know how to settle him x

Totally normal. I would even feel anxiety after a while like “gimme back my baby” at my own blooming mothers Baby 2 I’m literally like “please take him off me”! 😂 It’s all baby hormones and being a FTM is a minefield of them. It’s fades and you’ll always get her back for cuddle when they’ve gone.
