Scared of post baby life

Erin • I'm 22 and engaged to a hard working man, we are extremely excited to welcome our first little family member to this world

Still in the hospital with my baby, we're being discharged tomorrow but tonight he had his first meltdown. He usually stops crying after a couple seconds but tonight he broke and would not stop. I fed him, tried burping him, tried working his legs so he'd poop (to no success) and he just kept going. I finally called the nurse and she got him nice and calm.. But.. That makes me scared. Tonight made me scared because once I get home, I won't have that help. I'll have my fiance but it's like these nurses have a magic touch. If he won't stop crying, I won't know how to stop it after trying everything. I couldn't control my emotions tonight and started crying too. Which scares me even more. If I can't control my emotions after one day, then I'm really worried my depression will kick back in full force.

Any advice?
