Husbands PPA

Rachel

Just wondering if any of you ladies partners have developed PPA. I’m naturally more laid back anyway but since our son was born, 4 months ago, my husband has anxiety when it comes to the baby. He’s a great father and is fully capable. However, he has anxiety watching the baby alone, if the baby cries at all he gets upset and sick to his stomach, and always expresses anxiety if there’s anything slightly bothering the baby. He worries about scenarios he’s creates in his head. It’s starting to drive me crazy.

Our son is a healthy boy but my husband is realizing he may need to talk to his Dr. I do my best to encourage him and reassure him that he’s doing great. I would just like you I see if you all have any insight or advise on this topic?
