Baby Blues?

posted 30th Jun
Sorry for the rant, but I need some advice...

I feel like I'm losing my mind. I had my daughter 18 days ago, and I'm still somewhat depressed. Mainly over one, in my mind stupid, thing. You see, I live right behind my husband's family's car dealership. He works from home, but he is there 90% of the day. Here is the problem: I am having a hard time with him taking the baby there when I am sleeping without letting me know. Am I just overprotective? Or is this a legitimate feeling? My husband says that it's the "Baby Blues" talking, and that I need to get over it. I just know that she gets passed around like a football there and that bothers me tremendously. Thanks for your opinions.

One more thing...how long do the Baby Blues last?

My problem is this:

I never want to leave the house anymore, I feel extreamly lonely, I cry for no reason, I feel horrible when my husband goes anywhere... even work, and I just want things to be like they used to be.

I'm overwhelmed and doing everything myself and somedays I just hold her in my arms and lay on the couch all day. I am exhausted, but I can't nap for some reason. It's horrible.

Sounds like your mothers insitinct is in high gear. I dont blame you one bit. I would FREAK out on my husband if he took our son ANYWHERE without me knowing, esp if he did it when I was sleeping!!!!!!
As for the baby blues, I had what started as that in the first couple of days PP, but it has since led into full blown PPD. The first couple of days for me were just me crying over nothing. I would go sit next to my sons incubator (he was 8 weeks early and was in the NICU) and would bawl my eyes out because I felt like it was my fault that he was in there. Since then it's turned into a whole battery of issues for me, everything from feeling like I cant handle my son to I "have" to get pregnant again so that I can experience it the way that I was supposed to.
Personally what you are saying just sounds like your being a mom, as for the blues. Watch out for uncontrolable weepiness and the feeling of noting being able to love or bond with your baby. That's when you need to worry.
