post partum anxiety
hey yall, i’m about three weeks postpartum and haven’t been doing well. i’m with the baby nearly 24/7 with only occasionally moments where my husband goes in to hold and care for him. this is not his fault but my inability to be away from the baby. i can’t even leave his room to go take a nap in our bedroom. my husband wants to help more but i don’t know how to let him. i feel a lot of guilt for asking him to help, worried he’ll get frustrated if the baby doesn’t soothe, and want to honestly throw up being away from him. my husband has not done anything to make me not feel confident in him caring for the baby and i know im projecting my own anxiety. how do i get better at letting him help?
i do have an upcoming appointment with behavioral health to talk through this as well but wanted to see if anyone’s gone through something similar or have any advice.
hope you moms are doing well! postpartum a b*tch lol but we’re making it through !
