Postpartum is real. Just gave birth yesterday.
Hi mamas, I’m really struggling here. I just gave birth to my sweet girl yesterday and it has been so amazing. We got home from the hospital today and I am now seriously struggling. I’ve been trying to breast feed but my nipples hurt so bad. They are cracking and bleeding. It’s so hard knowing I kept my baby safe and fed and now she is here I’m struggling with it. Also she was born at 38+2days and I was happy because she had 3 weeks till Christmas. Which means 3 weeks till my husbands family arrives (aunt, uncle and cousins) and I don’t want my baby around a lot of people due to RSV and germs. But of course. His aunt decided to buy a plane ticket to come out tomorrow with her son to spend the day with baby. She will literally be 48 hours old at noon tomorrow and she is getting here early. I’m beyond upset. And not only that my mom and stepdad and siblings are coming Sunday. I want them to meet their granddaughter before my husbands aunt meets her. Also I’m in pain, I’m sleep deprived. I just want to spend time with my baby alone. But I can’t. My husbands family is making it all about their daughter. Like oh the baby looks just like you. Oh she is already crying for you! Oh don’t worry (husbands sister) knows what to do. She is 23 with no kids. Me and my husband are 28.
Anyways, idk I just needed to vent. I’m just really struggling right now and idk what to do. I just want my baby.
