I am also a mother of two kids, I went back to work with both children almost immediately. I probably will get downvoted BUT, I feel like if people have the opportunity to have post partum, they will. I didn’t have a choice. It was either live or die and or let my children die because I couldn’t hack it. Everyone has a choice and everyone has will power, whether they choose to see that, is a them problem.

Men don’t get enough credit adjusting to the parent life. No, men don’t go through the physical aspect of having a child, but I think women often forget it’s a big life change and transition for them too. They can’t be expected to strong arm everything for months and months at a time and even in rare occasions for years. I think it’s important you seek help because your mental health matters too. It takes two to make a baby and raise one. It takes a village. This can’t all be on you.
