Postpartum feelings

I notice every time i pump, and sometimes just randomly (like when i havent tidied up my place) i get these feelings of regret. Not regret about my baby per se, but random choices or things I said and did in the past that have nothing to do with her. I am divorced and i keep thinking about that relationship. However the child isnt his baby and that was several years ago. Or i think about how i should have made better financial decisions. I live reasonably comfortably for this economy but I'm in an apartment, not a house. These are just examples of thoughts that pop into my brain all of a sudden. Does anyone else have intrusive thoughts? Is this normal?

I've seen this so many times on this app... Must be something hormonal, so strange but I've seen it so many times so you're not alone. I had intrusive thoughts when she was born bit they went quickly but I've seen pumping and BF causing a sense of doom or sadness for lots of women so you are not alone x

I wouldn’t worry the economy these days is horrific, I also live in an apartment eventhough I have enough to live in a house. Currently me and my partner are working towards getting a mortgage but it’s tough! We all make choices we may regret later on but I’d try and stay positive because without those choices you may not be where you are today with your baby etc 💕

That’s completely normal and very common to have thoughts relating to your life in perspective. I have that kind of thoughts too.
