Hi ladies I gave birth to a premature baby my first baby in fact he came 3 months early. Since he's been home I've been feeling weird I don't want to be alone with him I know I can look after him I mean having responsibility for a whole child ! Has anyone ever felt like this or am I being weird ?

Natural to have that feeling to some extent and especially if you weren’t expecting him to come so early . Sounds more like anxiety than depression. How old is he now?

How long have you had him home for? Was he in intensive care for a while? How much help have you had from a health visitor? It’s definitely natural to be scared about looking after a whole human.
