Depression

[Newbee123]

Hi ladies my son just came back from NICU three weeks ago and he suddenly one night screamed the house down he had a sore tummy so we took him hospital me and my husband and mum. I live with my husband but my mum came to help with the baby. And my husband works long hours and works an 1 and a half away and I'm just so scared this will happen again and I'm on my own and I have no one near by and I wanted to go stay with my mum and my dad for support who lives with my Niece and SIL and brother. But my husband refused it because of COVID and he said my son is safer at home isolating then to go to another house hold where my niece goes school and my dad goes out to work. I get that I do but when he cried I literally went numb it took me back to NICU and my traumatic birth I just can't do it on my own I don't want to get depression. Am I bad for wanting to do this? Please no nasty comments I'm very emotional at the minute 😭

You're allowed to form a bubble with a baby under 1 (I believe, please check). If you're confident the family are bring careful then I would do it.

@33goingon64 I feel as if my husband doesn't understand the trauma I went through and I feel as if I will get accused that I made my baby sick by not staying home it's such a hard situation and my family has to work to provide for themselves as not everyone can work from home. I'm just in such a rubbish place right now

Yes I got that impression. Men tend to not understand what women go through even when it's not traumatic. Be strong for you and your baby.
