Depression when not with baby?

Question

I’m 3 months pp and mostly stay home with my baby girl. People try to make me go out and pressure me into leave my baby with my mom or aunt. When I’m away from her I don’t have fun. At all. I feel really alone and just not myself.. But I CAN go out with my baby and be just fine.
I really want the strength to say no to the people that pressure me into going out. But then I feel like a loser. Is this normal for a first time mom? I feel so guilty for leaving my baby.. I just want to stay with her all the time 😞

Answer

I feel like this and don't want to be away from my baby either. I wouldn't care if it's normal, honestly. You do you, don't worry about people.

Answer

I don't know if it's "normal" but if it's how you feel then that's fine. I very rarely leave my baby and she's 14 months

Answer

I don’t feel this exactly, but I have bad anxiety and I feel soooooo much better when my son is with me. I prefer to have him with me everywhere because he makes me feel so much calmer. He’s better than meds.

Answer

There's nothing wrong with wanting to stay with your baby. I'm the same way even if I'm just going to the grocery store I feel lonely without my daughter and she's almost a year now. I much prefer to stay home with her or take her with me. This time goes by so fast the way I see it I don't want to miss anymore than absolutely necessary. You just do what feels right for you and don't worry what other people think . It's your child
