anyone feels like you were not ready to be a mom ?

Question

When my husband and I got married, I really wanted to get pregnant and we tried and I got pregnant. We were so happy and excited. But now I had my baby a week ago I feel like I had no idea what was coming and what having a baby really means. I feel like I got pregnant when I was not ready and now it's been a struggle. I don't know if I am just having a baby blues or postpartum depression. Does anyone feel like this ?

Answer

My husband and I had been TTC for four years when I finally got pregnant, unexpectedly. Our LO is 2.5 weeks old and I still feel overwhelmed and a little bit lost. I don't think you can ever be REALLY prepared - you just need to give it some time! (But of course speak to your doctor if the baby blue's continue or worsen in the weeks to come).

Answer

My husband and I feel like we're drowning. We have been together 9 years and are both around 30. This isn't something we did on a whim and this is hard. I know it will pass and one day we will laugh but, woof.

Answer

It is so hard, i never imagined it. Me and my husband are newly married. Didn't have our first anniversary yet. And we are sleeping separate becase i got to wale up every two hours and he needs to sleep so that he can go to work. But its going to get better, hust have to hold strong. Few more months.

Answer

I think you are having the baby blues. Just make sure you communicate your feelings to those you can. I definitely had NO clue how hard it is to be a mom. A friend asked me if I were in heaven and I told her no! This is not heaven this shit is hard! I have the baby blues and it is normal. Our hormones are crazy and we are running on little sleep and an entire life changing process. Hang in there, you can do this!

Answer

My baby is 4 weeks and I can say I haven't slept more than 4 hours since he was born I am drained I don't know how I get up in the morning

Answer

It is so hard! I went to my doctor today to discuss PPD. They're here to help if you're feeling depressed make an appointment!
Good luck!

Answer

We had been married like 6 years with our first and tried for 9 months to get pregnant. We still Didn't feel fully prepared. It's overwhelming. It's one of the biggest life changes you'll ever go through!! Hang in there and talk to your doctor like the others said.
