Not doing enough
Did any of you have a hard birth and postpartum period?
I feel really alone, I had a traumatic csection and then had complications right after. So I couldn’t even feed my baby or change him. My husband was doing most of it till 3 months mark. That’s when I started to feel better mentally. I’m one year postpartum and I still feel so guilty for not doing enough for my baby. I was dealing with a lot of health issues after having him and struggling mentally as I was dealing with ptsd. I would love to get some closure ❤️
Look at it in a positive way. Your husband got to bond and basically do what us mother's usually do. He experienced differently to what most other men might have. It's a good thing and he helped you when you needed it. No need to have any bad feelings. I understand it hurts when you look back and think 'you didn't do enough' but you was looking after yourself while doing the best you could to make sure you recover so you can be the best version of yourself for him x
