Post partum rage ???

I don’t get rage but certainly get anxious and over protective, if any of my in laws takes my baby into another room I have to immediately follow them, I feel like a stalker always staring at them 😂

I’m the other way around. I don’t mind people holding my baby, but when my partner does I can’t settle and I’m on edge, we have a little boy and I just think he is too rough with him and expects him to do more than he can at 11 weeks. I don’t want to be that nagging mum always having a go at him tho so I try and bare it but I sit there fuming with rage and anxiety

i feel sick and so anxious when anyone except my partner holds him- i absolutely hate it! It’s not personal to anyone but it puts me off having visitors as i feel like they will be put out if they don’t get a cuddle. We had visitors on Christmas and when he was being held, i could see him just staring at me and his dad so confused and it was honestly the worst feeling in the entire world, he looked so lost😭 i think i just need to get better at saying no/taking him back from people

I feel this way with people I don't trust

@Kim exaclty i'm the same !!🤣

@Bianca my partner is also quite rough with our little boy, it really irritates me especially when he's burping him he will just be pounding at the baby's back it frustrates me 🥲

@Louisa Yes i 100% understand you ! especially with the baby just staring at you like "save me"😂

I think this is so totally natural! And @Louisa I was the same at Christmas! When my LG cried while my cousins wife was holding her I felt I needed it to be validated by someone else that I ask for my baby back which I realise is ridiculous but in the moment the anxiety was freezing me up! (I didn’t want to offend her because she wasn’t able to conceive 😖)… I just found the whole thing quite overwhelming and from then on I sat in a quieter room and just 1 or 2 people came to sit with us at a time which LG seemed to also prefer!
