Anon... Most of us go through this... I myself hear the baby crying when I m taking a shower... I too can't sleep when baby is playing around all because I fear he will fall down... That's quite natural for a mother. But yes, when you are leaving your baby to your elders what you can do is, tell them what to do and when to do and just let it go...They too care for the baby and will handle the baby well. So, you need to get that time for just yourself... You should now start with walks everyday where you can leave your baby back at home with someone and just let it go... Meditation will help...Hang out with friends on weekend, go for a movie... You need to keep yourself secured thinking that the people who are around the baby are their own...They won't let the baby fall or go hungry or anything like that. They too care for the baby. You need to assure yourself that baby is equally the father's responsibility...So he too needs to take care of the baby...Leave the baby with him and trust me father's are way too good with them... I know it's gonna be difficult in the beginning but you will be able to do it... You need to give yourself a bit of time everyday. Don't worry at all...Don't get depressed as it's natural for a mom... Just be happy and let the baby mingle with family members . Give yourself your "me time" everyday. And yes, we are always there for you whenever you feel like sharing something. You can do it...

I very well understand dear. happens at times. It's due to our attachment .. Do you believe in God ?? If yes then trust and leave everything to him..Don't think too much.. Be sure that all will be well.. don't give any way to any kind of negative thoughts. <br> Gradually things should be fine as the baby grows up and goes to play group and you spend some time for yourself.. But as of now too take some time off and be with your self and go for a walk or indulge in anything you like any hobby that you enjoy.. I am sure you will be able to do it. <br> Even I was a bit over thinking and it all started when I was expecting and had placenta previa and high blood pressure. So many change suddenly in my life as I had to give the job too due to bed rest . all I can do was Google and think and think little more . Then one day I decided to submit everything to God and be positive always .. <br> It really helped.. we all love our baby .. but giving little bit of space is necessary for all of us. too much of attachment leads to sadness. so try to be a happy soul .. Divert your mind into various other things and be confident that baby will be fine .. take care ..

Hello dear, i can totally understand what you must be going through, our momstar Neha mani wrote some helpful points on this. Sharing them with you, I started to vent out my feelings more often. I would write them in my diary, talked to my mother or husband. This helped a lot to ease the pressure. I cried if I wanted to. I yelled if I felt like. Needless to say, I felt better. I slept whenever I got a chance to do so without caring what time of the day it was. Sleep deprivation is a major cause for mood swings and exhaustion. Once you get good sleep, a lot of things can be sorted out easily. As new mothers, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to be the best in everything. I stopped doing that. I did whatever was possible in an easy way and asked for help more often. I refused to do something just because it was to be done. I started getting busy with my books again. It gave me a lot of confidence and self-satisfaction. I used all the time possible to get back on track. Even if it was just for an hour, I made sure that I utilized that time to study. It was a type of meditation for me. I felt better instantly. I devoted time to myself every week. Went out for a walk, painted, went to the parlor or did a home pampering session. It is very important that you are important to yourself in every situation. For you to keep the baby happy, you should yourself be calm and satisfied at first.
