Post natal depression 3 weeks post partum?

[Liam2018]

Just need someone to talk to, gad my boy 3 weeks ago, been feeling down but didn’t think anything of it thought it was normal. He’s had colic for the past 5 days and since then I’ve got increasingly worse. I can’t stop crying, I don’t feel like I can look after my baby, I’m not enough and I feel like his dad is better than I am. I cannot wait to go to sleep and dread waking up and just generally not enjoying being a mum. I must add I am a FTM and tried for years to get my little boy.

I don’t know what to do, am I over exaggerating, am I just not fit to be a mum I just don’t know :(

The first few weeks are very hard on new mums. The sleep deprivation is horrible, and you've been dealing with colic too. You are very much fit to be a mum, look how much you care about your little boy. Are you able to talk to your baby's dad about how you're feeling? Do you have any family support around you?

It's normal to feel overwhelmed by it all. It certainly doesn't make you less good as a mum

You are fit to be a mum ❤

You are still in the just doing anything to survive stage , the first few months are so difficult even with an easy baby !

Could you maybe get in touch with your Health Visitor? I'm lucky to have a good one who I had to phone late on one day and she rang up the next day (on her day off) to get me a gp appointment (I have post parturition anxiety)

Please get help,nobody will think any less of you, and you will get to a point you will know your babies different cries , just remember you and your baby are still learning each other ❤
