i recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! he is 2 weeks and three days old, i am a first time mommy and when i tell you nobody warned me enough about postpartum.

there are days when i feel so miserable, i think i cried for the first four days after coming home from the hospital. i stopped breastfeeding because i would literally cry over my baby as i breastfed and rocked him to sleep. some days i feel amazing then the next day i feel a sudden sadness and i don’t even know why. it breaks my heart that i am transmitting all of these feelings to my baby. my husband tells me he misses my old self and i cannot help but feel like a bad mother and wife. i wish i knew why i cried, i know my hormones are all over the place, i had a c-section, my body went through so much during & after birth.

i guess my question here is, how long did postpartum last for you? and how did you handle it?
