After the birth of my second daughter, I fell more deeply in love with my husband, he has not change at all he does the same thing he always do but I just love him 50 times more than I knew was possible. When he leaves the house just to go to the store I miss him way more than I did before the birth of our baby girl. Are these signs of postpartum and should I let my dr. know. My daughter was born on Thanksgiving.

It's a side effect of a hormone called "oxytocin." It causes both, attachment to your child and tenderness towards your partner.

Congratulations! What you explain is just SO nice! I feel the same way with my husband, as more time passes I love him more. Your hormones are all over the place, but this is not something to worry about. You are just heavily into "nesting" and that is great. Make sure you tell him how you feel!

its normal, once a couple have a baby, a mother always feels more closer to the husband than before, this is because your flesh and his flesh have joined together to create another flesh, and the body feels very proud. its natural to love your husband especially when there is a baby, just don,t over love him and fill his space, other wise he will be irritated that easily.find other things to do, and don,t text or phone him too often when he is away.give him space to breath.

Unless you start locking him in the closet to keep him from leaving, I would say you're fine. It may be that you feel closer to him because of having a new baby. I'd be elated if I woke up one morning more in love with my man.
The only problem is that it seems you are looking for something to be wrong instead of enjoying your new-found happiness. Enjoy it! Be happy and learn how to accept it.

Congratulations!!!!
I would enjoy everything your feeling in case it goes away. Sure it could be delirium from lack of sleep but it's better than being annoyed at him. I think it's sweet. Post partum tends to swing the other way toward depression. I think your okay, enjoy your family and husband.

I think you just fell in love with how he treats you. I am 9 months pregnant and I don't want my b/f to leave my side and when he goes to work I just feel like crying (i actually do cry). I believe it to be normal.

Hey, Congratulations on having a baby. And whether its normal or not. You surely must be very very happy over it that you love him more than ever.
So, happy loving to ur husband and also to both of your babies.
