Normal.

I just looked back at a thread about how people were at 3 months post birth. The majority of people have said that they were SO well that they went on holidays with their baby.

As i read each posting, my stomach dropped with the steady realisation that what i experienced was so far from normal that i should have sought or been offered help.

But i thought it was normal and that it was what EVERY single person who ever had a baby experienced.

I recall having vitrioloic spitting rage at every woman that i knew who had ever had a baby because in my mind, they knew what was coming for me, and not one of the fuckers told me, or warned me. I felt utter hate towards some people.Sad

What the fuck are health visitors there for? What do they do?

I decided that we would not have any more children because i cant even begin to tell you how horrific it all was and i simply could not put myself through it again.

He is 7 and a half now.And alone.

I felt the same as you. I remember feeling like I was underwater. I vomited on several occasions from being so exhausted. I was paranoid, deranged, and angry with everyone who was supposed to help but didn't understand. I'm still angry a little bit at them.
I lost 2 jobs because I was just too exhausted to work fill time and get up at night.
But I love my baby and still do with every fibre in me.
