Anxiety about other people holding my baby
I am having a csection next Thursday and am a little sad at the thought of my baby not being with me all the time in my belly anymore. I have super bad anxiety in general, but especially about my pregnancy and baby. My family is so excited to meet her but I feel so uncomfortable and almost sick at the thought of some of them holding her. The only person I feel ok about is my mom. I have siblings who are younger (12 & 13) and I don’t even want them to touch her. I don’t know why I have these feelings but I know they want to see me when I come home and come meet her and I could never say how I truly feel without really hurting their feelings. I also need to find a way to say absolutely NO kissing. They don’t quite understand me and think I overreact. My pregnancy has been complicated and I’ve been so scared this whole time so once she’s here I just want to hold her and protect her from everything. Has anyone else struggled with this?
