I'm jealous of my baby

Sejak awal lagi, saya dapat rasakan kegembiraan dan keterujaan suami memandangkan ini kali pertama saya mengandung tapi bila lama-kelamaan ada sedikit rasa cemburu bila dia asyik memberikan perhatian yang lebih kepada Baby Q.

Bila di pejabat, dia akan message "Baby buat apa tu?" "Baby dah makan? Baby makan apa hari ni?" "Baby tidur ke?" and when my husband came back from work, soalan yang sama akan ditanyakan terlebih dahulu. Tak dinafikan, saya rasa sedikit terpinggir. Pernah terdetik dalam hati "Aku tengah sakit belakang ni sikit tak tanya Mommy, how's your day ke apa ke? Asyik tanya pasal Baby Q je". So, is it ok for a mom to be jealous of her own baby? Hahaha

Saya google tentang isu ini & rupa-rupanya it's completely normal to be jealous of your husband's relationship with your new baby (in my case, unborn baby). Completely normal? Wow!


What can you do if you find yourself harboring jealous towards your child?

It's important to understand that you aren't the only mom who has felt this way. Moms may not talk about it in fear of judgment but many have had a similar experience.

Feeling this way does not make you a bad mother. Often new moms will jump to the conclusion that they are horrible person because of their jealous. Rest assured you are not a terrible mom; however it's important to address your emotions and not let them simmer or grow.

Whatever the cause of your jealousy, it's best to get your feelings out in the open. Start by talking to your partner as clearly and honestly as possible.

This may not be easy: You may be worried that he'll think you're being too sensitive. Or you may not want to bother him with your problems but communication is the key to healthy family relationships.
