Worried about husband going back to work

Postpartum Recovery

Hello ladies. Just after some reassurance and advice. I’ve had a C section and currently 10 days PP. My husband has been an absolute godsend during my recovery - literally taking over everything whilst I’ve been enjoying baby snuggles and resting. However, I’m now getting anxious about him going back to work as I’ve realised I’ve hardly done any of the basics like nappy changes, outfit changes, feeding etc… and suddenly feel very overwhelmed like ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’ feeling. My pain is starting to reduce and I’m able to walk around the house a bit more, so I’m hoping in another week I will be a bit more confident but it’s starting to worry me.

Does anybody else feel like that?! Regardless of what birth you had!
