Baby blues?

Question

So my baby boy is now 3 months old. (Time flys!) when he was just weeks old I found  myself really sad and sensitive but quickly got over it. Now fast forward 3 months later I'm getting that "sad" feeling again. I find myself laying my baby down to sleep for the night hoping I did enough for him and hoping he had a good day. Sometimes I just wonder if I'm doing a good job or if my baby is happy with me. It makes me Sad not knowing if I'm doing a good enough job as his mom. I want nothing but the best for him and I just hope I'm doing a good job.

On top of that, I'm going back to work soon and the thought of that puts an ugly feeling in my stomach! I can't help but to cry. Is anyone else feeling like this? Not sure if this is baby blues again or am I just being extra emotional or is this normal feeling to have. Anyone else? Or am I alone? lol

Answer

Could just be extra emotions about going back to work, but I did learn that 3 months pp is the most common time for PPD to set in (it's not immediately after birth like most of us think), so it wouldn't hurt for you to talk to your doctor about how your feeling.

Answer

I had this feeling with my first when I was about to go back to work. It wasn't so much of did he have a good day/did I do enough but it was more of thinking of all the things I was potentially going to miss out on. I would say you definitely aren't alone but maybe worth a mention to your doctor. I got over it once I got into a routine and my son was always up with me in the morning so I got to spend some time with him before I went to work. I just made sure to make the weekends count with him!
