Postpartum Depression or Baby Blues

Hi everyone! My baby girl will be 3 weeks this Wednesday coming up. And i think im loosing my mind. I feel so anxious about everything! Im so terrified about SIDS and im always checking on her. We all know that having a newborn we have like 3 hr sleep at night. Like yesterday she went to sleep at 5am and she was waking up a lot! So I have really bad headache right now because i need to sleep. But anxiety is getting so hard that i cant sleep! 😩 I had a c-section and I literally had no help. My family doesn’t live nearby so the only family i have is my “in-laws” and they literally left me alone all by myself and every time i think on that it hurts so bad cuz im not a bad person with them. My mom passed away in January so i know if she was alive everything would’ve been so different. 🥺 My husband tries to help as much as he can but he works 16 hrs a day so is kinda difficult for him. Plus i have a 3yr old toddler so it makes it a bit more worst. Idk whats going on with me. I feel so anxious about everything, im always crying cuz i cant do nothing because of my c-section. 😔 I feel so lonely so helpless. I love my daughter with all my heart! And thinking about RSV or SIDS terrifies me so bad. 😭 Idk what to do with my life right now. Please help :(

Magnesium to simmer yourself down! You can start there to help the anxiety. I get CALM gummies for my anxiety.

Express to your husband how you’re feeling. Communication is key. Try to work out a way that someone or a family can come once or twice a week to help you out or give you a chance to sleep for a few hours. I know how you feel my first 2 children I dealt with a similar situation. Not sure if you believe in Jesus but give Him your anxieties and worries, in return He will give you peace. I pray that you will receive all you need.

I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. She would have loved being there to help you. I know that’s so hard to mourn. Be gentle with yourself. You are having a lot going on. I think you might be going through a tad PPA. Is there any friends that came help you even for a few hours, a friend, extended relative? I think you need a few hours of support

Just know that you’re not alone. when you’re up late doing overnight feeds all of us moms with newborns are doing the same and most of us feeling similarly. It’s incredibly hard but it will get better and you will pull through the other side. Reach out to friends, ask for help where you can and be patient with yourself! 🩵
