Is this just the baby blues?

Question

I have a 6 day old baby, who’s been with me constantly since birth. But I’m constantly worried about everything. I don’t even trust anyone with her. I ask someone to watch her so I can nap but then I just end up crying the whole time she’s gone cause I don’t trust anyone with her. What can I do to stop this? I’m so overwhelmed and upset I can’t stop crying

Answer

Sounds like a combination of postpartum anxiety and either baby blues or possibly postpartum depression. I suggest speaking to your doctor about it, ppd can sneak up on you and be very serious. Always better to be safe than sorry.

Answer

It’s normal, there’s a lot of hormones in your body still and they have the ability to change reality.

Answer

Yes it’s normal within the first 3 months.. if it continues you should worry and keep track of how long it’s happening for. 
Why don’t you try having someone watch her at your house?

Answer

Shes not even a week old, sounds normal

Answer

It honestly sounds normal to me. I was the same way with my daughter the first couple of weeks. It's not so bad, now. I'd say if it doesn't subside by the time you see your OB again, mention it.
