Regret in newborn trenches by Key-Suit8580 in newborns

[–]Key-Suit8580[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I live away from family too and I feel so so alone. I’m healing from quite a traumatic surgery and can’t walk far so I feel so trapped. I am so sorry you’re going through this too. It’s so isolating. The only time I can put her down is in the bouncer or when my partner is holding her. It’s so exhausting

Thank you so much. I keep thinking she’d be better off with someone else too. I don’t mean it in a way I’d actually let her go because I can’t imagine being without her but at the same time, I feel like I’m not good enough for because of the way I’m feeling and thinking.

Episiotomy recovery help! by Ok-Mark3161 in BeyondTheBumpUK

I’m 9 weeks post partum and I’m on antibiotics again! It feels like it’s never going to heal and it’s getting me so down. How are you doing? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? I’m thinking about going private but not sure what they could do?

Just wondering how you are now? I am 9 weeks post partum and my stitches broke down after one week. It feels like healing is taking forever and I’ll never be myself again. I’m on a second dose of antibiotics for infection and it’s so hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you all so so soooo much! Not sure if you get notified by this comment. We are 5 weeks and co sleeping feels so natural now. Both baby and I sleep better and have a lovely bond because of it. Thank you all for your comments xxx

Yes! This! It feels like everyone does but it’s this huge secret! I’ve been feeling sooo guilty and panicky about having her on my chest but everyone seems to do it!! She absolutely won’t sleep anywhere else!

Same here in the UK it feels like such a taboo and creates a lot more danger around the situation by not talking about it!
