Sadness and anxiety after delivering my baby

Isabel

Hello glow momas. I gave birth my beautiful little boy Kai 3 weeks ago. My first child. I was so excited to finally be at home with him and my husband in this new journey. But it has been really painful for me. All the time I’m feeling sad/depressed. I feel like no one understands. Is this normal?

I want to have such a good bonding time with my baby, but it’s been really hard. I love him more than anything. But I can’t help myself, and my thoughts of I don’t doing it right, or enough! I feel like no one talks about how hard it is after giving birth. And society expects from us to be super moms. To be ready, clean, and happy. Even our bodies are not the same. It is so much pressure. I hope this feeling goes away soon. I want the best for my baby, and I will try hard to do it.
