I feel sad

Hi all,

Just some advise and motivation please.
I had my baby 3 weeks ago via emergency c- section, she is premature and has to stay in NICU, it kills me every time I leave her and I'm an emotional wreck the majority of the time. Even though she is in safe hands and in the best place, my heart aches, I watch videos of her and look at pictures constantly and my heart hurts when I see a video of her crying. I know it's normal to feel like this especially with not having my baby home but is it normal to feel heart ache majority of the time? The local midwives have said it's not PND as the circumstances around my pregnancy were not easy so it's a normal reaction.
Ahh I didn't think I would feel like this about a tiny human being but she is my life x

@EmmiJay I know your comment was ages ago but I just came across it now! Thank you so much for sharing your story.. I type this whilst being dribbled on by our beautiful baby girl.. NICU does seem a distant memory although I have chosen to speak with a counsellor as it was a bit of a traumatic experience! Thank you all again for your lovely words.
