I dont want anybody holding my baby for the first period. Is that weird?

My baby is due the 29th of May. When she is born, I dont think I am going to be comfortable with letting others hold her. I nust want the fiest hours/ week to be just my husband and I. Is that weird?

there's a difference between being protective and being possessive.

@WildwoodFlower you don't have parents, sisters, etc. that might want to hold the baby?

@cherokeepatti well yes....but i dislike the fact that when people visit a baby they assume they can hold the baby....I never assume i can hold the baby...and i never ask to hokd the baby unless the parents ask...i just want there to be boundaries

Not strange at all. It is natural and healthy to have a little greed with holding your own newborn.

@WildwoodFlower I had a lot going on in my life at the time so honestly idk if that was it or I was just having some kind of break down. it definitely didn't help.

@ZenKitzune that sounds horrible! Sounds like ppd

@WildwoodFlower years later I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and ptsd, like I said, a lot happened so I guess I'll never know exactly what was wrong.
