I have a beautiful 9 day old baby but yet I feel like crap. Just been to docs and have come out with a prescription for sertraline. I have a long history of depression and anxiety so I shouldn't be surprised,... I feel tearful, overhelmed, unable to bond with ds and fearful I may hurt him. Hubby back to work on Thursday and I don't know how im going to cope. Breastfeeding has gone wrong, he won't latch well and constantly falls asleep so every feed is a battle. Resorted to expressing and formula.
We had a hellish time conceiving, I panicked the whole way through pregnancy I would lose him and now he's here I feel he deserves so much better.
I'm terrified and devastated to be feeling this way.
Any words of encouragement?
