Your baby needs you right now show her all the loveee u feel for her and just keep on pushing those feelings will soon go away and if not we are here to hear you out!!!

This is really common honey, you are not alone. I was completely unprepared for how hard the first 6wks of having a newborn really is and those hormones settling down in that first week do not help at all! Babies are very demanding and their is something in your own babies cry that triggers a natural reaction in you to respond. But just remember it doesn't always have to be you that responds, take advantage of any family and friends that offer to help and grab the opportunity to sleep or rest when you can. If you feel its more then hormones, don't be afraid to schedule an earlier follow up with your dr and talk to them about it. Asking for help or admitting this is hard does NOT mean you love your daughter any less or are any less of a mum. You have just gone through a major life changing event and while you're looking after someone (baby) someone needs to look after you. Take care momma!

:-) like I said cheer up :-) talk to a dr if you feel like it's serious, but if your baby's dad is trying take advantage!!!!
:-) it will all be fine! go eat some cake!! Ha ha

don't stress, it happened to me after my first one. so much changes after birth, pregnancy never feels totally real and them BAM! you have a baby ;) keel ur head up, if u need a breather take one. the're is nothing wrong with u. it's just hormones. :-) but try to keep family and friends near by , dnt stress about chores ;) and eat whatever u want ;) seriously! make sure you make sure that youre taking care of yourself too!
