This is third DD I used to b really confident sticking up for myself talking to everyone etc. my baby is 8 weeks we just moved and I hate it. :( I'm scared here I keep my blinds shut I don't want to be seen walking to the at etc as I think the neighbours will judge me (I'm a bit fat )?a neighbour knocked moaning where I had parked even tho we can park where we bloody like! But I'm sat here all lonely and really don't want to be here wish we hasn't move now :( worries about this new bedroom tax thing as we have one extra room over :( feeling really unwelcome and vulnerable

Also dont underestimate the hormones sloshing around even though you've had them before. Cant believe how they've changed me!!

Oh I hope so cause I'm starting to become withdrawn and shy which really wasn't me ?

A little yes. I think partly because while I was pregnant had PSD so very immobile and felt vulnerable cos I couldnt run away if felt threatened. Then after you feel vulnerable cos DC is so precious and you feel you have to protect them. I think it must be normal...
