    The title is somewhat misleading. Most mothers who are sleep deprived and without proper support will have intrusive thoughts at some point. But very few will act on them. A more accurate title would be 'Mother worries her child isn't safe'.

    I think it's hard killed gender stereotypes that put alot of pressure on new mothers. Taking care of a baby while juggling work, her partner and the household? It's close to impossible, but still women are supposed to just handle it. Not to mention that post-partem is a medical issue. You can't just think happy thoughts and it goes away. You need medical treatment. I'll tell of the sadest outcome I've heard of, but it's graphic so... Be warned. . . . . . . . . In my home town there was a woman who killed both her baby and herself because of post-partem depression. I really don't know if anyone, like her doctor or husband, knew about it beforehand. So I don't know if something could have been done or if it just blindsided everyone - because both scenarios could be true. The husband came home after work to find them. The wife had drowned her baby girl in the kitchen sink and then hung herself. Absolutely awful and entirely tragic.

    They also don't talk about the thoughts you have during your pregnancy, especially with the insomnia and not getting comfortable and always tired and the itchy skin, where you just wanna rip it off or literally constant need to pee, like all the time and feeling suicidal.. No one and not one book mentioned any of those and not one film or program mentions any of those. Women especially mothers need to stop romanticising and lying to other women about the GENUINE REALITY OF PREGNANCY and no NOT ALL women's pregnancy are the same..

    I've luckily not been too itchy, but feeling constantly tired, various aches and pains, overwhelmed, emotional, morning sickness, worrying about your health and that the baby is growing properly, all takes a toll. Some women cope amazingly, I've struggled quite a bit, although my mental health has been alright. I've been referred to the mental health obstetrician because I've had mental health issues in the past. Glad they're being proactive! I'm very grateful I live in the UK and have the NHS and paid maternity leave. My local hospital has a good maternity unit as well. Not all are as good, but the women I've known who've given birth there are happy with their treatment.

    It's not always even an urge. Oftentimes, intrusive thoughts are just a flash of a mental image. Partly due to sleep deprivation, but also maternal anxiety about her baby's safety. It's not so much "I'm fed up; what if I threw this baby out of the window?" Sometimes it's your brain saying, "Hey, I know how much you love your baby and how fragile they are; what if this horrible thing happened to them?" Nightmares are like that, but while you're sleeping. Your brain presents you with your deepest fears. And Lord knows, postpartum, you actually are half asleep.

    When i was a baby my mom couldnt produce enough milk to breastfeed so i was constantly crying and she was trying to feed me every hour for weeks getting no sleep. She hates to admit it, but there were times that she desperately wanted to do something, anything to shut me up. I know my mom loves me and my brothers more than anything in the world, and she felt so awful for those thoughts that she broke down crying in front of my nana (who at the time didnt particularly like her being married to her eldest son but since became her favorite child in law, though no one ever actually said that out loud) who assured her it was fine, she was just tired, and told her to take a nap, then handed my dad a bottle of baby formula and i put that away and we both slept for 8 hours straight. My mom woke up halfway rested and terrified because i was quiet for the first time ever, but i was sleeping and happy. Theres just so much pressure on new moms especially to do things a certain way, or to feel a certain way, and no one talks about the struggles, so the moms feel so much worse when they cant be the supermom who has it all together all the time and their babies never have any issues and are always happy and giggly and smart and healthy.

    I've had intrusive thoughts for decades. I'd prefer not to even try to count how many times I've, for absolutely no reason, had the thought of getting the biggest knife from the kitchen and murdering my partner in their sleep. And thoughts like that are blessedly easy to dismiss, because they're terrible ideas on every single level with absolutely zero conceivable benefit. It's the more subtle ones, the ones that are like "no-one would ever know", that are harder to deal with. For the longest time I thought I must be a terrible person because of those thoughts, but then I realised that for all those years, I almost never acted on those thoughts, even the harder ones, even when they were drumming in my head for days or weeks at a time, and that was far more telling of my character than the thoughts that just popped into my head and I did nothing on.

I got help and we’re all a lot happier for it. I found out that she has Autism and one of the early signs can be they want constant attention, constantly to be entertained other wise they just cry constantly. And now I know why she behaves the way she does, now I know the best way to help and to care for her.

I was terrified of getting PPD again with my second but it never happened, and I felt cheated all over again of the motherhood I should have had with my first because its NOT normal to want to hurt your baby, its NOT normal to sit their focused on not harming your child and all of your willpower stopping you from flinging the baby away while they eat.

I was already tired that day and I only gave them a little bit. I then brought the cat up to my room and wouldn’t let her sit on my window sill or sit or lay down and i was constantly picking her up and dropping her from small heights (maybe like one-two feet). I picked her up and she scratched my face which prompted me to pick her up and shake her. I then threw her on my bed and I sort of snapped out of something. I felt absolutely horrified afterwards, I was stroking her and I fed her half the treat bag afterwards. I get thoughts of murdering people for tiny inconveniences too but I never act on them because common sense.

Rather just fathers being overworked and not having the time to care for baby, leaving all the responsibilities to the other parent instead of splitting them.

    I know I could not be a good parent because of the anxiety that would come from not being able to soothe my baby and the baby would pick up on that and also be stressed. I would eventually go into sensory overload and just leave the baby in the crib to get some quiet. Yes, once in a while you should just let the baby cry it out, but that is after they exceed a year of age.

    Suddenly realising that throwing my 3yo into traffic was an option. Tried to seek help immediately and was told that was not drop-in day. Me, Mr-3, and Miss-6mo in the car. I just drove the car around all the back roads local until I was sure husband would be home again. The kids didn't fuss when driving, and I have excellent car piloting skills (iykyk). I felt so horrific.

    My baby’s 2 months old now. And he has colic. It’s incredibly hard to get him to sleep. I’ve had thoughts of throwing him off my balcony and jumping after him myself. I didn’t actually do it but the thought scared me so much. He’s my first baby and I’ve been feeling like I’m never enough or I will never be a good mom.

    I had perinatal depression and post natal/ post partum depression. It is very hard. Especially since my first child had feeding issues. I had to supplement feed and pump milk in between every feeding. But I had supply issues... All in all I would get about 15 minutes of sleep in between each feeding. It was brutal. Thankfully I had lots of support and I was told it is perfectly fine to put the baby down in a safe space like a crib and walk away from the room for 15 minutes to calm down, take a deep breath and try to re-center myself. Baby will be safe and fine. They will keep crying, but they will be fine. Take a deep breath. You got this.

    I was a single mother at the age of 20 and I was all alone.... I slapped my baby twice when she was 3 months old but thank god I realized that my mental condition is not ok whatever I was doing was wrong.... In India mothers don't get help if they are single.... Neither medical nor social but thank god I did meditation and prayed to God.... And I passed that phase but it was horrible I was about to kill my baby but my love for my baby won....

    Intrusive thoughts freak me out. Even thought its not often I get them. My self control for a few seconds is non-existand for some reason so probably child trauma and ptsd responce tbh still the thought of doing something before I avtually think about it, is creepy. Thankfully I'll most likely never have kids.

    People don't understand how hard it can be looking after a newborn, especially when you're doing it on your own. It doesn't make you a bad mother though if you have these thoughts imo, you're barely functioning and desperate for some peace and quiet.

    Intrusive thoughts are awful, they can psychologically torture you. I remember being so scared to tell anyone when I had intrusive thoughts as a child because then they would know what a horrible person I was. The worst things I could think of, my mind would try to convince me that is what I was. Eventually I told my mom, and she was not shocked at all and assured me my mind was just tormenting me and I was not a bad person. My mom told me that if we could be arrested for our thoughts, we would all be in prison. I remember I was so incredibly relieved, and the psychologist explained it as any thought that is unpleasant will stick in your head and the more you tell it to shut up, the louder it gets. A friend of mine once confided to me that she was afraid she was a sociopath because she was having trouble bonding with her baby. I will never forget the look of relief on her face when I told her that it is not uncommon to take time to bond, that the rush of love does not always happen right away, and that I was not at all shocked.

    People need to make conscious decision to have kids. Use protection. Don't have kids if not ready. This kid deserves better. Mother shouldn't be left to raise the kid by herself without support. She needs support.... dead beat dad ran away. This kid deserves better.

    Plenty of women have children because they desire to be mother, that doesn't change the fact that postpartum depression can happen to every mother, and not for that it means she didn't want the baby, my mom had postpartum depression while she desired to be a mom, the dark side of motherhood is that you can get depressed, sad, angry, but they can't talk about it because society has ruled that a mother has to be a good mother a 100% , is like the saying " life is color pink" life is not perfect, parenthood is not perfect, people that have children are allowed to feel bad and not for that it means they don't love their children

    @@Framokamc My statement is valid. Conscious parenting over unconscious parenting. Having kids when ready / stable. Not popping out kids by "accident". If you don't have the emotional intelligence nor regulation skills then don't have kids. Most people are a disservice to their little humans... They meet the child's physical needs, but fail to meet their emotional ones. Alas, many children grow up with low self worth/esteem issues, insecure attachment issues, emotion dysregulation, ETC. Not to mention it is very expensive to have a child.

    While I agree that people should only have kids when they're stable and ready, it's also unfortunately true that you can be as ready as you'll ever be and still face post-partum depression and those incredible stresses that nobody ever REALLY talks about. So instead of condemning people for having children, we should meet them and the children with compassion. Not everyone has the same lot in life, and none of us ever know what's around the corner.

    I hate that people only really talk about the bad thoughts in terms of PTSD. It's just not how it works. Say you're the mother who gave birth: in the weeks immediately after, you're recovering from severe bodily trauma (which in any other case is weeks of bed rest), and on top of doing right by yourself, you now have a tiny little thing that has no way to eat, drink, bathe, regulate its temperature, can't sleep properly, and doesn't have a way of telling you what's wrong. Not to mention this little thing is, what is it? 5x more sensitive than everyone else around it? So _everything_ can and will set it off; light, sound, smells, tastes, textures... _Anyone_ would struggle in that scenario. And anyone who says they wouldn't/haven't is a liar. So of course everyone, whether Depressed or not, is going to reach their breaking point. Enter the intrusive thoughts. It is SO normal, and I hate how taboo it still is to talk about it.

    This is why I dont ever want to be a mother. Because I know that I will def have PPD or at least my temper would be at its shortest. I like kids. My nieces and nephews I like to hold them and play and talk with them. But I cant imagine being their main care taker. I sympathize with these people so much. It takes a huge toll on any parent, esp if youre alone. Parenthood is too romanticized, esp for mothers although it can take a toll on the fathers too. Penelope is a good mom and Shannon is so right.

    It may not happen to you. It did to me, I was eighteen when I had my son. Single, going to college, working part time and staying with my parents. Some nights I would wake to him crying and want to throw him out the window, or shake him till he stopped. More anxious I got the more he got. This was in 1980, never heard of postpartum. Never told anyone. I gave him up for private adoption to his father's parents. It was the most heartbreaking thing I ever did. Years later I was at a Dr's appt and was reading a parenting mag. An article about postpartum, married Mom, same horrible thoughts. I was so mad, heartbroken and still full of guilt. I bawled my eyes out for hours. I wish I had the courage to talk at the time. I wish I had the support I needed. You will, you are aware, and it may never happen to you. BTW he's now 43 married and a Dad and knows what happened. I talked to him honestly about it when he was in his 20's. He understands and has forgiven me. I will never know what would have happened if I had raised him. But he is the most amazing person I know. I like to think I made the right choice for him. I still struggle with guilt and depression, but he loves me and knows I only wanted him to be safe and happy. I love him and his family with every fibre of my being.
