Things to worry about

When I first brought Alex home I worried about everything; is she breathing? Is she eating enough? Can she breath in that stroller, under the blanket? Is she wetting enough diapers? Is she sleeping too much? And then came the cold virus! Poor girl caught a cold at six weeks old.
I think that's how my anxiety manifested. New mothers don't talk about post partum anxiety or depression enough. In fact, a mother recently told me that she hid the fact that she suffered post partum for six months after her baby was born. I encourage women to talk about it, I urge them. Talk with your doctor if no one else. My doctor really helped me through this tough time. I worry a lot less, ask my husband.
