I'm a first time mum with a beautiful 13 week old daughter and a wonderfully supportive partner. However, I often find myself crying, feeling sad for no reason. I also find it very difficult to leave the house with DD alone (so far have only gone out alone 3 times since her birth and all in the past 2 weeks)
I love my baby and feel immensely happy to have her but I worry constantly. From things such as her seemingly smiling more at her dad than me to if I pay her enough attention to her when she's awake. I talk to my partner often and tell him how I feel and he reassures me I'm doing a good job and that our daughter loves me. The past few weeks have felt a bit better but he is worried I have PND and would like me to talk to the GP but I don't seem able to bring myself to do it. I feel as though I would be a fraud to seek help as I don't always feel sad and scared and have no real reason to feel anything but happy to have her.
