Sometimes all we need is a big I LOVE YOU

I am 2 weeks pp and this past week has been rough. I think I pretty much cried everyday and couldn't find myself to feel happy. I also felt guilty because my baby is healthy and my fiancé though he works long hours has been very helpful when he can, feeling under the weather didn't make sense to me but couldn't help how I was feeling. Last night when he came home from work he expressed to me that he was concerned abou me and that he wanted me to be happy as I stated to cry (feeling emotional) he started to cry too and told me all he wants is for us to be happy and that he loves little one and I very much. I'm sure being first time parents it's not easy, and I should be more patient with myself. I feel so much better today. A big I love you is sometimes the cure to an emotional problem ❤️

  • That is really sweet!  I have cried every day too (the majority of the tears are because of breast feeding issues or feeling like I can't always comfort my baby).  I knew it was going to be challenging, but it will get better!

    U have to know how lucky u r that u have the option to breast feed. I won't have that option because of bilateral mastectomy . I feel guilt as if I am going to be robbing my child of the most natural thing to build his immunity.Everyone has being supportive telling me I am strong after going thru breast cancer . U guys are amazing; I do not know what I would do without this support group. U guys cherish every moment with your babies. U will not know how precious every little details of your lives are ,until u r face with life changing issues. I do not take nothing for granted now; we are all truly bless!!!
  • It's nice to hear other ppl go threw the same stuff. The first few weeks I also cried a lot!! & completely overwhelmed. It has gotten better but I'm a walking zombie now tho. Gettin no sleep with the hours that DH works. It is def hard!! Hang in there!!
  • It's so crazy how much those words can truly make you feel better. I was never really an expressive person and thought I had good control over my emotions but now, I need him to tell me in doing a good job and everything's going to be ok. And of course, I love you.

    I'm glad you got your fix. But it's very good that YH is aware of how you're feeling. PPD is a real thing and having a support system around you for help is the best thing.
  • Thank you ladies! It's a great feeling to know that we're not alone and though it seems overwhelming it gets better. I wish I could hug all you ladies ❤️
