Leaving Him alone for the first time...
I couldnt do it. I freaked out BAD. I was leaving him with my mom to go to the OB for an incision check and I was so scared I started crying , and was sooo afraid something would happen while I was gone.
I barely make it out the door ( aunt was driving me to the dr's) and 3 blocks away some idiot almost hits us...we had to kinda go up on the curb to avoid it.
I flipped, I was so scared, I made her take me home 
Please tell me I will be ok leaving him eventually???
I feel so scared now.

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
oh my gosh - reading this I remember back when I was soooo paranoid to leave DD.
I definitely will get better.
I do remember, I did take her with my to my check up. But DH was there too.
It does get better

Oh he is coming with me now. LOL ..I mean theres not too many sick people in an OB's office...
The ped had told us not to...but Now I rearranged it so DH can take us next week and I can bring him.

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
 It gets better! I remember the first time that I left Nicholas with DH. He was around 6 weeks old and I cried a lot when I was leaving. I think those were the hormones...

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
I had to leave him at 2 weeks old for a little while because my father in law passed away! I was freaking out!
It will get easier!

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
It will get better. I remember I had to leave DS to get a wisdom tooth out. I was petrified. He stayed with my mom, I did go, but wanted to get back home so quick.
It does get better

plus - my OB and her entire office wanted to see her as well.
I was 13 days late - so they all knew my story in there - plus we didn't find out - so they were all dying to know
Why would the ped say no?
We were told not to bring DD around kids or the mall and stuff

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
I feel guilty now because I was never like this I felt very comfortable and actually enjoyed getting out.
As others said I am sure it will get better

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
When Logan was 2 weeks old my dad MADE DH and I go out to dinner.
I cried in the car then relaxed and enjoyed myself.
It's hard at first but necessary.
You might want to try smaller increments of time. Go out for a solo walk or something for 10-15 minutes and build up to being alone for longer.
It will get better.

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
It does get better. When DD was almost 2 weeks my firends took me out for my b-day. We only went 5 min away but I couldn't stop thinking about her the whole time.

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
Im ok leaving him with DH....I did that the other day for hours...Its just anyone other then the two of us I am scared of...
And actually This sounds horrible, but its the older people...
MY sil I had watching him while we were at a BBQ the other day, I had no issues....
But my Mom, MIL, my Aunt...I get so nervous with them....B/c they havent been around babies in years I guess?

Re: Leaving Him alone for the first time...
I don't understand why you are afraid. Are you afraid they can't take care of him. Its like riding a bike, you don't forget. I used to love when people would watch my kids and I could get a break.

because My mom has a bad knee for ex. and when she is holding him on the chair, I see her struggle to get up and Im afraid she will drop him....
My MIL doesnt support his neck and he will be flounced over and shes not even paying attention to him.
That sort of stuff ....where you think the worst...

I feel so scared now.
This just took me straight back to when Ava was first born That feeling will come and go for a long time, but hopefully the days those feelings will be fewer. It's not easy, and I don't really like going anywhere other than work without Ava, but I feel that I've properly educated a select few people on how to take care of her in my absence I'm partially kidding, but the more you get to know Noah, the more you can tell others how you would like him to be cared for, and it does get a little easier. For now, don't leave that baby boy's side if you don't want to!
