Hey everyone, so I had my beautiful baby son in October. Am so madly in love with him, he makes me so happy but the thing is I just feel sad all the time for some reason, I don't sleep of a night and got no energy to do anything. My mother has just come to my house to help me tidy up because I just have not got it in me. Also I feel like I'm not bonding with my baby that much, the only reason I say this is because when my parents come round to see him they are talking to him loads and playing with him, just making alot of fuss about him that it makes me feel that I don't do that that much myself and it makes me feel even worse and that I'm not bonding with my baby. I feel like I should be doing that too. Everything is just getting me abit down. Maybe it's lack of sleep and/or doing everything on my own. I just feel so bad even though I do my absolute best to try and make my son happy and smile, which I do but I just feel as though am not doing it as much. I'd do anything for my son, he is my whole world and more. How come I feel this way?

It could be PND, the exhaustion of being a new FTM, you could have low iron, feel low with everything that’s going on or a combination of all the above.
I’m sorry you are feeling so sad, it would be worth having a chat to a Dr to discuss how you are feeling. Congratulations on the birth of your son. I hope things improve for you soon Flowers
