Please tell me it’ll get better....

I’m 5 weeks PP and just returned from my PP appointment with my amazing OB. He will be referring me to a therapist. I declined taking medication for depression. I have hope, and know he is really trying to help and genuinely cares, but I left feeling even more sad confirming that this ugly cloud is over me like it happens to many women.

After trying for 2 years to get pregnant and finally having my baby, it hurts to have this happen. I have birth trauma and keep reliving these events. Once my baby was born, he was taken to the NICU for 4 days. I didn’t get to bond with him like I imagined.

I just need encouragement from you awesome ladies.

Thank you. 🤍
