Please seek help: This sounds like post-partum depression and I recommend seeing your OB Doc or your Family doc ASAP. This is very common and very treatable but it needs to be addressed soon for the benefit/protection of you and your new baby. Many women go through this. Please read about post-partum depression online and make an appointment soon. If you are suicidal please call 911 or go to the nearest ER.

Call your OB. Now!!: You are describing postpartum depression. You need to see your doctor today or if unable to see your OB you need to go to a local emergency care provider. In the meantime have a trusted friend stay with you. Postpartum depression can be very serious and if you are having "scary thoughts" about the baby it is a true EMERGENCY! Do NOT delay or take any chances. Get assistance.
