Why do I feel intense anxiety before I have a let down and sometimes while nursing my baby?
I am a little concerned because with my son I am having these intense feelings of anxiety right before let down. It’s almost like a panic attack. It doesn’t seem to affect my let down, but why do I feel this way with him? I really love and adore my son and I wouldn’t stop breastfeeding him for anything, but why am I feeling this way? When I nursed my last child I felt nothing but intense feelings of love and happiness before a let down. Now I’m anxious and depressed right before a let down. My grandmother died suddenly while i was pregnant and I was very close to her, could this have some sort of subconscious effect on my hormones or something? Any advice is appreciated.
Right now your hormones are all out of wack. It is not uncommon for a woman to feel depressed or sad after the birth of her child. My boyfriend is taking psychology and I read about this in one of his books. It will pass soon. Most women get over it with in a month or two after the birth. As long as its just feelings of depression and not harmful thoughts you will be ok. If you feel like our getting more depressed or get bad thoughts about the baby it might help for you to talk to someone that is close to you or seek out a therpist. I am sure you will be fine. You have a wonderful baby and your life is great. Dont let these feelings drag you down and worry you anymore then they already are. Sometimes just talking to someone helps more then you would think.
