[quote=Anonymous]Ha!! One of my best friends described this as that feral feeling of wanting to growl menacingly at everyone and run into the bushes and nurse your child in a loincloth. I about died laughing because that’s EXACTLY what it felt like to me too! There’s got to be some sort of primitive biological undertones to this - a built-in protective mechanism of some sort. With my first, it lasted a lot longer (a couple of weeks for the worst of it, but I remained intensely protective and didn’t want anyone outside of my immediate family to hold DD for months, not that it necessarily played out that way). With my second it was like that for a few days and then subsided. Although frankly the not wanting to be touched thing can last a long time especially if you’re nursing and you’re always, always being pawed at. My oldest would crawl on me, looking for attention while I was feeding the baby and even though she’s the light of my life I had to resist the urge to hurl her off. Don’t get me started on when DH tried to initiate sex. Yikes.

The first couple of weeks are NUTS in terms of hormones. Just ride it out, tell people to give you some space for a bit, and obviously tell someone if you’re feeling out of control, but yup - that feral feeling is pretty standard I’d say :) Enjoy your little bear!![/quote]
