Hi, this is my first time on this forum. I just had my fourth baby... she is a dream child...
Problem is, now that Ive had her.. Im so confused.
I dont think I am as attached to the other kids, although I try really hard... also, I cant shake this feeling of sadness. i have lost my skip in my step that I use to have and dont want to see many people..
Feel slightly depressed and am wondering how long this will take to s disappear


I used to be so happy and bouncy, a business woman with so much drive, but its been two weeks since I gave birth... and it was a hard pregnancy, prem baby and no drugs during delivery.. not even sure how I got thorough it, now im left with a whirlwind of emotions and cant really talk to anyone about it..
can anyone relate to this?

Welcome to the site.
I'm sorry you are feeling the way you are. You are still in the early days, only 2 weeks since you had your baby. It was a difficult pregnancy with a premature baby, you are feeling trauma. You do still love your other children as much as you did before, you are just so tied up with your new baby that she is taking all your attention.
Your emotions should settle down soon, and if you are still feeling bad in another few weeks, speak to your doctor.
Come on here any time for advice, there should always be someone about.

Thanks for taking the time to reply audrey, I really appreciate it. i think it will be good to be linked up to a site like this to get the support.. I look forward to the emotions calming down soon.

Yes, i think the misscarriage before this baby has made me more anxious to loose this one, but she is here and all is good.. so i should focus on the here and now.

Thanks for your support
