The thought of someone holding my baby irritates me
I just started my third trimester with my second baby. My husband and I also have an almost 2 year old as well. I keep finding myself getting so irritated thinking about when family will visit and hold my baby. I already dread when family will come visit from out of state. We live away from all our family. Both my husband and I are always overwhelmed and stressed when family from either side visit. I already set the boundary that I don’t want visitors until after I am 6 weeks postpartum. Last time everyone visited right after the baby was born and it was awful.
I know it’s a combination of me wanting my baby to avoid getting sick and also me already disliking company. I have seen other moms say it’s normal to feel upset at the idea of people holding their baby. Has anyone else dealt with this?
