Hello everyone, i was due jan 30th with my daughter but she decided to come 7 weeks early. So there i was laying on the operteraring table having a emerganct c section cause her heart rate was droppin. Now im no newbi to premies having three children before her an two of them were premies. But im terrified of her, she is so small an helpless an im afraid to hold her an im having a really hard time breastfeeding her. An now that she is at home an my fience is back at work its all up to me an i cant seem to stop crying cause im afraid that im gunna hurt her or something else is gunna happen. Ive never felt this way with my other babys. Is this normal or should i seek help????

First of all congratulations!!! In my opinionit's perfectly normal to be afraid. But I'd suggest seeing your doctor about the otherways you are feeling.You may be experiencing post partom depression. Just stay calm and set up an appointment to see your doctor to discuss how you're feeling. Hope this helped.

I can totally relate, my daughter came 10 weeks early and when I first got her home I was terified that I would look away and se would stop breathing. Your feelings are totally normal and natural, I wouldn't wait for the 6 week check up unless it's in too days or so, mostly because if it is post pardum depression things can get really bad really fast for you. And the best things for you and your children is to deal with these feelingsasap.
