Some of you might have noticed that I talk a lot about how my LO is very fussy. At my 6week post-partum appointment with my OBGYN, my OB thought that I was not coping as well as I should be but did not think I had post-partum depression. She thought I needed to speak to someone, though.
Tomorrow is my scheduled appointment with a psychiatrist for "post partum counselling."
I already feel down in the dumps because it seems as though every new mommy I know has a "good" baby and is having a blast. But for me, I thought that despite LO's fussiness, I would still loooooooooooove being a mom.
Anyone else share a similar experience?
she wouldn't nap and I'm exhausted! My hubby who stayed home from work sick (not contagious ) ended up taking her. I felt awful. It's hard to be a mom, and very hard when you're with the baby 24/7 with no break. Add fussy baby to the mix and of course you're bound to go a little crazy! 
I started back on my anti-depressants right away, and that did help. I also saw a counselor a few months after DS was born, and it was really nice to talk to someone of a neutral party that didn't judge you. Just be completely honest with them and tell them how you feel, and know that you are definitely not the only one!
