What is this feeling?

[JulyDreams]

Hi all

I have a 9 week old DD.
No history of mental health concerns or PND.

Can anyone likely explain this feeling? Hear me out as I don’t know how to explain this…

I love my daughter so much, this is a total new feeling and different to loving a family member like DH or mum and dad:

-Burning in middle of chest, pressure.

-I feel like I miss her even though she’s here ?

-Intense feeling/ overwhelming

-Obsessive thinking about her

-Couldn’t be without her/ Don’t want her out my sight

Thanks and sorry it is an odd one!!

That's how I felt when my babies were new too, it's overwhelming but I think it's just natural and instinct to feel that way about your baby. I don't think everyone agree but I wouldn't worry about it

@TheRookie thank you!

Yes this is hormones and emotions and tiredness all rolled into one I think - I remember it all just being so much at that stage.

I'm not sure about the burning pain, but the rest of it is normal I think. As pps have said, it's emotions, tiredness and hormones etc
