Sounds like post-partum depression. Get her checked out by a shrink.

>>17275319
Post partum depression, get her to a fucking doctor. She could potentially harm herself or the child, she NEEDS help.

>>17275333
>>17275335
Could she actually hurt her?

What do I tell them?

>>17275319
Sounds like postpartum depression, to me.

>>17275319
Sounds like you shouldn't have had kids with a 22 year old "kid".

Girls at that age just want to get fucked and party.

>>17275344
Yes, and she wouldn't be the first. It can be very serious, and she clearly already has considered "getting rid" of your daughter.

If you tell a doctor it's post-partum depression, they'll know. Talk to her OBGYN and have them recommend somebody.

These.

>>17275319
It's quite common and most women are able to work out of it. Get her some therapy and she'll come around to loving the baby. She probably already does and is just all sorts of messed up from hormones, stress (mental and physical), and that's assuming she was perfectly healthy to begin with.

No worries, you three will get through this.

>>17275354
Well, we have a daughter now.

>>17275358
Should I just tell about it at the maternity clinic?

What will happen?

>>17275319
This is pretty common in women who get pregnant or after they give birth.

Her body has totally fucked her up.

It doesn't sound like post-partum psychosis (1% post partum), so I don't think she will hurt herself or the baby.
She's just depressed.

>>17275319
Did she even want kids to start with or was this a surprise pregnancy?

>>17275386
We talked about having a family once we got married and as far as I remember she just shrugged and threw her birth control pills in the trash in front of me.

She doesn't express things much or be enthusiastic about anything, it's always hard to say what she wants or likes. She settles things without talking like that a lot.

>>17275367
Haven't been through any of this myself, but I'm guessing they say "Oh let me refer you to this doctor" and they give you a number to set up an appointment, which you do and when you go there the doctor looks at your wife and listens to the situation, then gives her a prescription and you come or call back later to see if the pills and/or treatment she starts taking work out for you guys. This is assuming you get your wife's full cooperation. It won't be an overnight fix so you'll have to hold out until things even out.

And maybe don't get your hopes up into thinking this could transform her into the perfect mother: she'll still be the same person and maybe there's a possibility she'll never be super enthusiastic about child rearing, but this should help her deal with the depression she seems to be experiencing and maintain her hold on her situation better.

>>17275409
I just have to hope she cooperates.

She has never been very nurturing but I didn't think she would reject her own child.

>>17275399
Your marriage will last the ages.

>>17275433
Please don't mock this situation.

>>17275427
If she does have post partum depression, you gotta remember it's not really entirely her fault. It's a real sickness that alters behavior, sometimes in monstrous ways. It's important for her to have your understanding and support.

Though of course anyone can see you're having a hard time yourself too. I suggest you two work on those communication skills also. Sounds like this was something she maybe was unprepared for, but it's too late to turn back and you both will have to work through it.

>>17275452
You are still on 4chan.

Post partum depression
Get her some therapy, it will get better once her hormones return to normal levels
However judging from your description of her, it doesnt look like she's much of a mother/wife material and might run away witout leaving a trace once day. Be ready to be a single father OP.

Give it up for adoption.

Sorry to butt in, but is there any way to try and PREVENT post-partum depression? When I have kids, the last thing I want is to feel that way. It sounds terrible.

>>17275971
There are pills to help prevent postpartum depression, but I'm not exactly sure what they are. Most likely vitamins and minerals to help stave off postpartum. Google it, there's a lot of stuff out there.

>>17275319
>While I know she won't do anything to hurt the baby, I don't know what to do.
You don't know this, you assume this. Get professional help if you haven't already.

>>17275319
>keeps referring to her as "it" or "that thing", most concerningly talking about "getting rid of it".
We are not qualified to diagnose, but this sounds like a really, REALLY bad case of postpartum depression. She needs help, and she needs it NOW.

This is totally post-partum. It's both serious and not the end of the world. By all means talk to your partner about your concerns. It's not her fault, make sure she knows that. She just want through a monumental change and hormones/body stuff are getting back to normal. And 100% find a specialist, her OBGYN will have references, just ask.
So don't feel like you guys are doing anything wrong, your kid isn't going to wind up messed up, just make sure this problem is dealt with in a positive way.
And give it time, too. This was a life changing event. Things will go back to normal with professional help and sleep (seriously as a dad of 2, sleep as much as you can and give her enough time to rest. Stepping up and taking over almost all nightly duties really helped my kids' mom get over her post partum)
