Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I understand this is tough. Being a mother is a tough job and juggling a job with it makes it even more tough. Emotionally just the excess responsibility is taking a toll on you. I mean it’s too much for your nervous system to deal with so it’s giving you signals on the form of panic attacks and anxiety to tell you to work on the emotional stuff. We have to create a safe space to work on the emotional stuff in a trance so you’re able to release it successfully. Once released you will feel a relief and will be able to communicate your needs to your partner as well in a way where he genuinely understands and stands up to support you in one way or the other. You’re brave! Stay

New parents are known to be anxious. Parenting is a demanding and exhausting. Babies teach you tolerance and you must be ready to learn. Few things are known better to your doctor, if your baby is growing and gaining weight and doctor tells you there is no disease then you should leave the worry. Jaundice is mostly a physiological process and resolves slowly. In baby care father too has definite role to play, share some baby jobs with him. Do not forget self care , you need extra calories, hydration and rest. Make use of breast pump if you are working. To manage stress you need simple strategies where we counselors can help.

Hi
It is natural to feel anxious about taking care of a baby and you are a new mother. The baby needs your attention at all times. Your husband goes to work. Is there anybody else at home to support you? To feel better consult a psychologist and explain about your anxieties about being a new mother. A psychologist will help you feel calm that will enable you to sleep well. Do not worry with time your anxiety levels will reduce.

Consult a psychologist

Cuddle your baby (a lot). This releases oxytocin, which can lower anxiety levels.
Try to maximize sleep. Although the baby may wake you every three hours (or 45 minutes) to feed, your partner should not. Sleeping in separate rooms or taking shifts caring for the baby may be necessary during the first few months. Aim for at least one uninterrupted four-hour stretch of sleep, and be mindful about caffeine intake.
Spend time with other mothers. Although you may feel like you don’t have the time, connecting with other mothers (even online) can do wonders in lowering your fears and validating your emotions. Chances are you are not the only one worrying up a storm.
Increase your physical activity. In spite of the physical toll that pregnancy, delivery, and milk production take on your body, physical activity is one of the most powerful anti-anxiety strategies. Activities that incorporate breathing exercises, such as yoga, may be particularly .
Ask for help. Caring for a baby often requires a village. If you are feeding the baby, ask someone else to help with household chores. There is an old saying "sleep when the baby sleeps." You may prefer "do laundry when the baby does laundry."
And finally, give yourself a break — after all, you just had a baby. Postpartum anxiety is common, and in many cases, it will pass with time.

Hello,
Being a mother is a daunting job. You do have so much on your hands. It must seem like 24 hours isnt enough and how do you ever get any time for yourself!
Taking care of a little being who is completely dependent on you for everything is truly a task. Like everything in life, its about learning the best practices and using that knowledge that will make you feel more confident and better.
Ask for help from elders in family to guide you.
Ask your husband to take some part of responsibility.
Read about how to take care of a baby alone.
If you need support and a caring ear to vent your feelings to, please contact me for a session and we will figure out the solutions that work for you.
Hope this helps
