My Baby Blues
Posted by Laurie
I sent my baby away. That was the start of my baby blues. Now to be fair, I didn’t send him far, it was only to the nursery in the hospital instead of having him by my bedside in the maternity ward. But, it was far enough that I felt guilty.
Wasn’t I supposed to delight in having my baby sleeping next to me in the “mother-baby room” that’s the new trend in maternity wards? All I felt was angst. My baby cried and cried. I didn’t know why. I nursed him, swaddled him, rocked him. Nothing would help. So during my two nights in the hospital, he went to the nursery, other than feeding times. I felt guilty and stressed out but still happy and I loved being with him during the daytime.
