The first thing my husband did when we got home from the hospital after having our babygirl is throw my pregnancy pillow across the room…
He asked what I wanted as a push present, I gave him some ideas, he didn’t get me anything. He only got me a present after I gave him gifts for his first Father’s Day…I didn’t get anything for Mother’s Day either.
Our 5th night home, I was bawling my eyes out and crying out in pain because my nipples hurt so badly due to being so new to breast feeding and from exhaustion. He was next to me in bed and on his phone…didn’t ask if I was okay or if I needed anything.
Those are just a few of the many. I don’t know what to say to him at this point because he just shuts me down or becomes super defensive whenever I try to talk to him about it. I feel so alone.

I’m so sorry you’re going through PP feeling alone, can you ask for help from friends /family? If he isn’t being supportive you need to get support else where, it’s a vulnerable time for you and baby. Huge congratulations on becoming a mummy ❤️
Do you think he could have ppd ? Men can get it too xxx
