Hello
I'm new to this
My LO is nearly 10 weeks old. Having had him a few weeks early LO ended up in NNatal for two weeks. I was on adrenalin for those two weeks. At the unit everyday pretty much all day.
LO came home and every thing fine but then discovered reflux. Countless visits to gp and hospital. Finally prescribed special milk and gaviscon. Seems OK.
My thing now is I don't know how to be a mom. My life is not my own and I'm so overwhelmed with it all. When he cries it's so frustrating. I get angry and question my mothering capabilities. I can't cope with the crying. When LO wants milk it's got to be there right away. Changing LO bum more crying. Put LO in bouncer doesn't like it. I question do I love this child? What have I done? Why isn't this easy?
I feel sad crying anxious sleep deprived I can't even enjoy this experience. How do I bond? How do o grow to love LO. People say when you hold them for the first time there is a rush of love- where is my rush of love?
I want to fast forward 6 months so that it gets easier. People say these are the best times doesn't feel like it to me.
Does not get easier?
