I can't sleep!

I had my baby on thursday, and since then I have not been able to sleep even when the baby is sleeping for hours at a time.I feel tired and exhausted, and have been able to sleep for about 2 hours during each day.I will lay in bed for hours at a time, knowing my husband is there too and the baby in the bassinet by the bed and that if I do not wake up myselfmy husband would wake me to feed him, but no matter how manyhoursI lay thereI seem to only drift into sleep about30minutes beforethe baby wakes up hungry.

Has anyone experienced this?

whats actually keeping you up?

are you just not sleepy? are you worrying yourself? can you just not relax?

There could be many factors. But wow...you really need your rest right now mama.

Congrats by the way!

I never slept either. I don't know why. I just couldn't  

I couldn't sleep at the hospital but once I got home I was more comfy and had no troubles. The first day home my guy let me sleep for a while and he watched out for the baby.

Try to relax and enjoy being a new mommy, your baby will cry if it needs something and you are sure to wake. Mommy instincts kick in and you will know when you are needed.......you really do need your sleep, you just went through a traumatic thing!! (to your body atleast)
