Struggling new mom!

Hi all,

I need to vent and reach out to someone who might feel the same way. My baby girl is 3 weeks old and is definitely a handful. Screams for hours at a time and NOTHING comforts her. As I sit here in her nursery rocking her as she screams in my face I can’t help but wonder....why did I want to be a mom? I hate this, I don’t enjoy it at all. I’m finding it hard to even bond with my baby because I’m so drained from dealing with her crying all day and night. I was so excited to be a mom and couldn’t wait to welcome this baby girl into the world and bring her home and now I’m finding it difficult to get through the day without balling my eyes out.

I don’t need any negative comments or non shaming, trust me I feel awful as it is and the amount of guilt I’m dealing with is enough. I’m just wondering if anyone else has felt this way? Please tell me it gets better? 😭
