New baby

Hello hello 

I have just had a baby everything seems geared at the minute about baby massage baby yoga skin to skin these are all things that I keep having to explain I feel comfortable with it's making it harder every time I have to explain myself regarding this and I don't know what to do what this is where my partner picks up the slack but it just feels overwhelming all of the time and heighten sensory as well 

I am struggling to know what I can do to build a relationship with him. I have the word bond I don't feel instant love etc

  • Don't worry lots of people don't feel an instant bond, it will come just give it time. Having a baby is a hell of a thing, especially your first, it may take some time for you to physically get over the birth enough to feel you have any energy for your baby. It's hard when everyone keeps telling you things and everyone has to put their pennies worth in. 

    Are you at home yet? If you are then limit the number of people who come round to midwives and one of two relatives a day, you need to rest and catch up with yourself.

    I have just been told by a assessor at mental health that I have ADHD. This morning they called and said medicating me. No after care just drugs.

    I have very bad lows when I am bad. Partner says it worst than I have every been. I have not yet been to any play groups although they keep annoying me to sign up. I also found having a early years worker useful to have off local council to help and now a ot from different area mental health team. I think there trying to get ppl off the list by fobbing me off with group therapy aft said I need 1 to 1.

    I believe you can get sign I can pig on pram about coming near me as I did venture out every person head in pram or near me it's called personal space and he's my baby.

    Thanks all x
