Nearly Passed Out

[jennyjoan]

went next door to get a parcel meant for me - son has just had a 4 week old baby and was holding him in his arms, "oh hold on, I'll get it for you and placed the baby in my arms - I haven't held a baby in years so I nearly passed out. Luckily I didn't. OMG

[woofgang]

how lovely!

[jennyjoan]

yes it was lovely Woofgang but I sure was very nervous

[woofgang]

yes, I have no kids of my own and my best friends eldest son had a baby on christmas day 2016. I held her when she was about a month old and was paralysed.....realised the last baby I had held was her uncle who is my godson and was then 28 years old!

ah, don't worry, at that age they bounce like a tennis ball.

[jennyjoan]

that's right JNO - unfortunately this happened to my neighbour's niece some years ago - she dropped the little baby - husband took him to hospital - he was fine but she went on to commit suicide that day. x

^ Really ??

[jennyjoan]

HereIam - Really true unfortunately.

[hereIam]

That's very sad jj.

[Mamyalynne]

That's truly awful JJ, poor family.

[FrillyPancake]

That's horrific! The baby was fine, and even if he wasn't fine, it was an ACCIDENT!
Omg. Terrible.

[Georgiesmum]

OMG. That is truly tragic.Im so sorry.

[jno]

that is awful, jj, how sad. I suspect there may have been more to it than just dropping a baby.

[jennyjoan]

no that's it Jno - she accidently dropped in the kitchen - when husband was away in hospital with the baby - she done the deed. Nobody was there.

[kvalidir]

Oh it was her own baby? That's awful JJ, I misread what you'd initially put x

[jno]

jj, what I meant was that she might have been suffering some kind of postnatal depression.
