Can't stop crying loosing the plot!!

[scaryfairy28]

DD is now six days old and I just can't stop crying I love her so much and this makes me cry I've just spent the last hour crying cos she's a week old tomorrow wth!! Ive cried at least once a day since day 2 about everythkng and anythjng! Am I going mad?

aww, bless you! You're not going mad, you've got baby blues - it's just the hormones in your body getting back to normal after the birth.

you may well be short of sleep too.

congratulations on your dd. Is she beautiful?

Nope! Totally normal At least thats what I did with ds 1 and 2! I came out of hospital late on christmas eve with ds1 and me and dh sat on the sofa with 'Little Donkey' playing on the radio and blubbed for hours!!

Happy crying is just as uncontrollable as sad crying I reckon. Enjoy these special times x

She is the most beautiful baby ever and this makes me just sit and sob as well!! Good to know other people have had the same!!

Hi scary, my son is a week old today and i was sobbing this morning because of that, its totally normal. I was crying because he is so perfect and tiny and i want to keep him small and safe forever!!

When ds was newborn I sat and cried about the day he would leave home...

I did this with DC1. Day five - sobbed my heart out and dripped milk everywhere. I believe it's something of a rite of passage :o

DD is nearly six months old and I cry about a lot, from Britain's Got Talant to the idea that DD will be hurt by others' comments (inspired by a thread in chat) and I can't always protect her. Lots of cuddles with your gorgeous baby helps!

If someone can tell me the secret of toughening up, I'd be grateful!

Wait until you have to pack away the first lots of baby clothes because they are too small sob

Thanks for the advice, have managed two whole days with no tears!!
