did you feel so alone?

Having a baby is a life changing event. I think it is pretty natural to feel somewhat alone after giving birth. I did go through some of that after my first daughter was born. I had an incredibly supportive family, and my husband was great at helping me care for the baby. The first day my husband went back to work after my daughter came home from the hospital I didn't know what to do with myself. I didn't want to pack up the baby and go out anywhere, and all of my other friends worked. It was tough, but I think part of it is the lack of sleep that you go through. Hang in there!

don t worry everthing will be ok i havent birth because i m male but i think you most feel good for your baby.just imagine ; your baby will grown up and will go to college and will married and will have birth firs baby.just imagine to future :) you will be ok

hi redbubbles dont get discouraged i tell you its very normal to have post pregnancy dipressions ihad it my sis had it all my cousins had it and i tell you its more severe after the second child but there is nothing to worry Yes you will feel alone and that nobody loves you and you are not being supported and many fears and many many doubts in your heart Trust me its a part of motherhood dont allow negative thoughts to enter your mind always think positive eat good and nourishing food listen to some good music and take out sometime for yourself This depression will be until one and half years but you try to come out of it coz its all in your mind its just a mind game and you win if you keep COOL

I went through this more so with my second child than I did with my first. With me, I think it had a lot to do with being in a new place, not really knowing a whole lot of people who had kids, and trying so hard with my husband to keep a roof over our heads. I felt like I could not talk to him about how I was feeling very often because we had other needs that required his attention more so than I did. Some of it also had to do with the fact that my children are just fourteen months apart so I was taking care of two babies at the same time, while working, and everything else that it takes to maintain a household. My best advice to you would be to find someone that you can talk to about how you are feeling. The local hospital will probably have a department set up to handle issues such as these because post-partum depression is a very real thing. I would also recommend talking to your ob-gyn because he or she will likely have additional resources for you as well.

I had an overwhelming lonely feeling. I wasnt "ME" anymore. I had changed and it was very difficult to cope with. Its almost feeling like when the child is being born everything that once was you is now being ripped out. Every push there went another part of me. At least thats how I felt.

I am not a mother,but i can feel my mother's love. I love my mother, now you may feel you are alone and not so supportive,but you also can feel happy when see your child grow up and, more and more clever!!!

I know the feeling.I had it with my first child and then even more with my second.They are about 15 months apart in age so when my second one came around it felt like All I wanted to do was cry and I didnt seem to bond with my daughter until after the first month.The first month with my second child was rough(as well as my first.But of course I think most first months are)because it was hard to get her to go to sleep because she wanted to sleep almost sitting up so I would stick her in her car seat carrier sometimes and rock her and when she was asleep I woud put her in her bed.After about 3 months she eventually got used to laying down.But My gyno/ob asked me if I felt depressed or asked me if my husband was helping me out because she said alot of women get overwhelmed with taking care of the baby,housework,ect and dont take enough time to take care of themselves.I told her my husband helped out sometimes.More so than my first.But still I felt like all I did was do most of it.My mom helped out some and my mother-n-law did some but my mom helped out more with my first thatn with my second.So I felt I didnt much get to do what I wanted and I had low self-esteem which was because I guess after just having a baby.But eventually it goet better.Sometimes if it doesnt then it is good to get some help.Dont feel bad if you need to talk to someone or need to take medication to help out for awhile.It doesnt make you crazy or anything.I dont look bad upon people like that because I know how it feels.While I never took any medication I do at times get depressed but I think its partially to always being at home taking care of the kids and doing housework.Dont get me wrong I love my kids but sometimes I woudl like to help of earning income or to go out and have even an hour to my self which is hard to come by.But usaually I ask for help not alot but sometimes.Sometimes you need to ask for help because maybe sometimes peopel just dont want to feel like they are invading your space.Take care of yourself and get some sleep.I hope you get to feeling better.

Redbubble, I first wanted to give you ((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))) and let you know that you are NOT alone. There are many, MANY women who go through this after giving birth. I felt like you, after my 3rd child. I had family support, and a wonderful husband, but that just didn't matter. I would curl up and just cry, it seemed like it would never end. I went to my doctor about it, and he counciled me through some things, and helped me get through the depression. It's been 3 years now, and things have gotten much better. Please talk to your doctor about what you are feeling. He/She can help you, maybe resort to medication (antidepressants.) Most of all, do what you can to steal a few moments to yourself each day. Even if it's 3 minutes in the bathroom while the baby is sleeping, it's a quiet time for you. Do what you can to relish those little "free" moments in the day. Most of all, talk about your feelings. Even if it's here, to a group of total strangers, you need to unload. We're here to help, and we care. So, that's my soapbox speech. I'll give you another (((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))) before I go. Take care of yourself!

no iam not feeling alone because i always spend my time with my lovely family. and free time i went out with my friends . we are enjoying the life so iam not at all feeling alone.

Yes, sometimes I think. Now I am study alone in a city out of my hometown. Only when holidays can I go back home and reunion with my parents. When time comes to my birthday I always think of my family. But fortunately, I have many good friends here now. They are all very friendly and treat my well as their own sisters.
