Question for moms...

How did you feel (emotionally) after giving birth? Did you have the baby blues? Or maybe it turned into PPD or PPA? How'd you get through it? Was your partner helpful, how? Did you have a good support system? I hope I dont bring up any negative memories or anything, I just would appreciate some advice or something. I dont know. This shit sucks. I have an appointment set up but for some reason I'm terrified and have so much anxiety. I'd rather cancel and try to move on, honestly.
Please don't leave any rude comments, I've beaten myself up enough already, I dont need anyone else adding to it

Honestly, it was fucking awful. But not everyone has it.

@SW-User those two words "fuckimg awful", and I'm just sitting here like YES you get it 😭

@LunarSkies You need to find people to talk to, other mum's, and not compare your story to theirs.

@SW-User I'm not trying to compare. Just trying to get an idea of how common it actually is, and maybe a tiny bit of support, or advice

@LunarSkies I found myself comparing, but I had a shitty experience

@SW-User I'm sorry *hugs*

@LunarSkies We're good now. Just wish I'd looked after myself more afterwards
