Is this postpartum depression?
My son was born a week ago. Me and the baby’s father are together. I had to deliver by C-Section due to my blood pressure being high. I’m so sore, not really suppose to be doing much, and I haven’t gotten a full 8 hours of weep in at least a week and a half.
The father of my child was really helpful at first... he’s good with our son but when it comes to helping me he’s very unsympathetic of the fact I was just cut open 7 days ago and he can’t process that’s I’m going to need time to heal. He still expects me to travel up 2 flights of stairs to make him food and care for him! When I’m not even caring for myself ( we stay with my mother and grandma who have been absolutely amazing in helping me out). When I ask him for help he’s so mean to me. I ask him to get me something to drink so I don’t have to get up and he telling me I’m annoying and needy. So I feel bad about myself and as much pain as I’m in, I get up and take care of myself. But it’s truly taking a toll on both my emotional and physical health because I feel like while I have help with the baby ( sometimes because he still expects me to do most of the major work like the getting up all though the night while I watch him snore and get the best sleep) I feel like I’m not getting that support/love that I need to feel and it’s made me very emotional and sensitive and I’ve heard of postpartum depression I’m not sure if this is what it is, or if I’m just having a hard time. Regardless please pray for me
