Is it normal for a new mother to feel overly possessive of her baby? I am due in 5 weeks inshAllah and I am already feeling so possessive and protective for my newborn baby. I had an argument with my husband and he said I am being weird and not thinking in healthy way :frowning:

I dont know if it is normal or not but yeah alot of moms are like this. My older one is now 4 and i still have issues leaving him in someones care other than my husband, i dont even leave him with my own mom. I stopped working when he was born just because i couldnt stand seperating from him. Luckily he is very independent and never felt any seperation anxiety when he started school.

I would just be careful of making the child very much dependent on mom.

Depends on what you are arguing about. It's normal to some degree.

yup. its the hormones. expect yourself to be a little mental shortly after his birth for a few weeks but then you'll settle down hug
