Has anyone else felt like they lost themselves after having a baby?

I love my daughter. I chose this. But I've lost my identity completely. I'm not Sarah who has her own life anymore — I'm just 'baby's mum'. My husband noticed I seem withdrawn. I don't know how to explain that I'm not sad exactly, just... gone. Has anyone felt this way? Did it come back?
