Snapping at husband
I feel terrible and scared about how much worse this can get. I have a 6 week old and have had 2 moments of weakness.
My husband is one of those even-keeled kind of men (most of the time) that make you sort of seem like the crazy one, but his judgments hurt. I feel so bad. He made me angry when we were both very tired and taking care of the baby, with his judgments of what I was doing and I just snapped.
At 4 weeks, I called my partner an idiot. Afterward I cried and apologized profusely, later explaining why I did it.
Just now at 6 weeks I lightly hit his leg during a quibble at bath time.
These are two things I’ve never ever done in previous relationships. Please, any advice and support would be appreciated.
Thank you 🙏

This sounds like potential ppd/pp rage, I would reach out to a therapist or your midwife for a referral to one. It's not fair to your husband (or to you) to have to walk on eggshells to avoid even small confrontations. You don't want it affecting your relationship long term if it continues so I would seek help sooner rather than later to get some coping tools for both of you.

I’ve also seemed to be taking out things on my husband as well. He says that he gets it and that he knows it’s not personal. Personally, I have hit my limit and don’t think it’s fair to him or me so today I signed up for better help.
