re: Too young?

it all depends on you. personally i couldnt do it. if you think you need a break.. then take a break. i was still recovering at a week and i couldnt go anywhere. lol

honestly its ur mother. thats the only person id let if i were u. you are still young also. my sister was like that for awhile with her first. but the only one she let watch the baby was our mom.

While you may have ppd going on as well. This is just not wanting responsibility that comes with being a parent. You had a baby a week ago. Clearly the ppd is affecting your ability to attach to the baby but you don't even seem like you want to fix that, more like you just want your relationship with the father to be back to normal.

Yes, you can start to feel any signs that point towards PPD right after birth.

  I understand how you feel, to an extent. Sometimes I do feel like I need to get away for awhile and I have my mother watch DS while I take a run just to clear my head. I'd try and see how you feel.

PPD can hit up to a year PP I believe.

I guess that's kinda true =/ I miss how things used to be but I do love my baby I'm just not used to being a mom... Maybe ppd? But idk

Yeah alone doesn't mean u sce to go out. It usually means when baby is sleeping.

Sounds like PPD to me. It's nothing be ashamed about it.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a date night but you just had your baby and all you can really think about are things going back to normal. Things will never be the exact way they were. You need to accept that. You're a mom now. A mom of a 1 week old infant. Hanging out should be the last thing on your mind.

If you don't want to be a mother, you know your options. Adoption or safe haven.

I'm not ashamed just worried I guess

Its been a week sweetie.

For whatever reason your maternal instinct isn't kicking in, I suspect that's from having ppd. You need to call the doctors Monday and request to be seen ASAP.
It's not healthy or normal to not want to bond with your child immediately, it will only get worse.
Your relationship with your bf shouldn't be an escape from motherhood. You are a family now. Your relationship should be put on the back burner until you can get to work on the ppd. If you don't want to put your lo first, maybe adoption is a good option to consider.

My two best guesses
1) You have PPD and need to call your doctor NOW and figure out a treatment plan
2) You aren't truly ready to be a mother and didnt fully understand how your life would change. I can count on one hand the number of times I have been out with my husband without kids in the past 2 years. Do a movie night after the baby goes to sleep on the couch. But really the baby is just 1 week old they need their mommies and their daddies. Being a parent is hard work and the beginning is exhausting but its time to grow up and be a mom.

Usually when u want away from your one week old it's due to other factors such as ppd or having a colicky baby. Most new moms want nobody touching their kid let alone leaving them for a little while. And if it is it's usually to nap. Not many are more concerned about going on a date at 1 wk pp. definitely call your dr and see if they think u could have ppd and they might be able to help. In the meantime go on the date kf you feel that's what's right. But please call your dr.
