I can’t do it

No advice but lots of hugs. Im sure what you are experiencing will pass. I need to remind myself of that a few times ❤️

I’m sorry you feel like this and it’s difficult when you don’t feel understood or supported by your partner at such a vulnerable time. I called triage and the community midwife a couple of times when I had concerns - they were very reassuring. Might this be another way to get some support as a first step?

You are strong and you are doing an amazing job for your baby.

Hold in there girl you got this!

I am nearly 4 weeks pp and I have definitely had these feelings. I am solo mumming it and had a c section so that first week was rough.

If you dont feel like your partner is supporting you enough do you have parents or a friend you can go to for a short while? just till you get back on your feet.

Going to my mums has definitely taken away that overwhelming and isolated feelings and helped toward my recovery. As well as building a better bond with my boy.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way, and thankyou for sharing it must’ve been hard to write it down and be so honest. I think a lot of mums can feel how you are right now, you will get through this!

Is there anyone who could be there for a few days to help - sounds like your partner needs a “reset” also. My husband and I don’t sleep in same room with baby at night, it helps to tell him to get 6-8 hours sleep from midnight and then in the morning he’s got the energy to do the jobs, work and take her again in the evening so I can get a 4 hour solid nap. That works for us, I know couples who have done the same using sofa etc. Unfortunately I can relate to the feeling of your partners capacity being a lot lower than your own and frustration can really build.

Another thing that’s helped for me was short walks, seeing life going on around us really helped ground me a bit and give perspective - that these hard days and weeks are gonna pass!
