You are not alone you have all the ladies here to help you through. You will be a great mother. Just keep your chin up and take baby steps everything will smooth out.

Hunny, I am sorry that you feel this way. Unfortunatly, I have no idea what to say, or how to help you. I am sure what you are experiencing is common and probably hormonal. But that isn't helpful. I will keep you and your son in my prayers. I hope that one of these other women will be of more help.

Hey!! I'm sure you are a great mother!! It seems like you have Post Natal Depression. Its not easy saying goodbye to your support network and im sure alot of parents go through stages where they think that they are not a good mother. Bottom line is that all parents want to be perfect parents but there is no such thing!! There is nothing wrong with asking for help! Is there any support groups, mother and baby groups that you could attend?? Please dont get down on yourself, your a great mother your just in a rut at the moment.

I would suggest that you see a doctor and tell him the symptoms that you are having and he might put you on some anti depressants that willl make you feel better!! Goodluck!!

Love you aren't the only one who feels that way. I am so sorry you feel this way. I have felt the same way since my husband died. My mom and dad aren't much help and i feel 100% alone. All that keeps me going is my littel girl that depends on her mother for everything. I want to be able to tell you that it does get better, but i can't. You have a beautiful baby, (we have seen pics right? i can't keep up with everyone. but if we haven't i am sure he is just a doll) and things will smooth out. they always do somehow. just when i think i can't handle anymore things just get better.....Please just keep your head up. You are/will do a great job.

I wish i could be there to help you out, but you will do just fine.

I wish you all the best. and give that baby a Kiss from Me and .Amelia.

how long is your husband out to sea for? is he gonna be able to call you? try to see if he can call you at least once a day, i know when my husband goes out that always helps me, just to know hes ok and all

dont you have any friends hat can help you? what about his command? does he have any friends that are also gone that have kids? if so maybe turn to them for some help

i dont really know, my dh is going to bahrain about a month (suposedly, first it was beginning of june now its begining of july, i hope it stays that way) after our daughter is born, i dont know how im gonna handle it but my mum will be here sort of...im gonna try to fill our house with pictures and stuff, and hes gonna call every day and he will be able to get online (im so glad hes land based and not sea based) but it sucks because i know hell be in a dangerous place bleh

if it gets bad (or if it already is bad) you should probably talk to your doc, maybe they can get you a counselor or some meds or soemthing

you a wonderful mother, you know why? because you dicided to ask for help and not flip out one day and hurt that beautiful baby you have

im here for you, as i am sure everyone on here is
