AskPolly: “I feel like I can’t logically think about having a baby; otherwise, I’ll never do it. I’m thinking I will have to just take a leap of faith and go for it. I just have no idea what to do or how to overcome all of this anxiety”
By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. Dear Polly,
Throughout my life, I have had extensive experience working with young children and babies. In high school, I worked for my dad’s company that specialized in working with children and babies with special needs. I was a “sub”; when a therapist called in sick, I would fill in to play and spend time with autistic children 3 years old and younger. When I was in college, my brother had a baby and his job flew him across the country.
I’m hoping that the love for my future child will make all of this worth it.
And I was sure that I would have a colicky baby plus postpartum depression plus the flapjack tits plus the peeing in the pants. I was certain I would have all of the things, no matter what. But most of all, I thought I wasn’t like other women. I wouldn’t feel the right way about kids. I would feel indifferent. My mom kept saying, “Don’t worry, you’ll love your baby.” My husband, who already had a son, kept saying, “Trust me, babies are easy to love when they’re your own.
The point is, you might be surprised at how relaxing and fun it is to have a baby. Personally, I loved it. I had an excuse to just exist for the first time in my life. I was not depressed at all. I was happy.
