Day 4 post-natal. I hate my husband and the tears keep coming.

Second baby, so well aware this is totally normal forth trimester stuff. But humour me and join in with your stories and it'll make me feel better.

Milk came in yesterday so my boobs are rock hard bolders. Nipples have been ravaged by a hungry baby. I'm working on a deeper latch. We'll get there.

Hormones are all over the place and I hate my husband for failing to lactate and not understanding the pain of being cut in half to birth a human being. And for failing to see that the house is a tip and doing something about it. And getting snippy with our 3yo despite having had ample sleep in the spare room and so should be on top form. Get off the PlayStation and take her to the park FFS.

I know it passes and I will, eventually, like him again.

Anger at anyone giving unhelpful and unwanted advice to get baby in a routine / offer formula to get a break / only offer boob once every 4h for fear of overfeeding / be kind to my husband as men can't cope like women can.

Argh the post-birth hormonal rage is real!

I would be mad at your husband as well, your poor DD

And for failing to see that the house is a tip and doing something about it. And getting snippy with our 3yo despite having had ample sleep in the spare room and so should be on top form. Get off the PlayStation and take her to the park FFS.

You’re behaving as expected at 4 days postpartum. Your shite excuse for a husband meanwhile needs to get his act together!

Thanks ladies.

Day 7 post partum now and I hate my husband much less now that he's decided he no longer needs day naps, after his solid nights of sleep.

Of course, I'm not yet at the liking him stage, as he does tend to express his opinion on things he knows nothing about, eg breastfeeding ("she can't need more she'll be sick / she's obviously not getting enough if she's back on / let's give her a bottle) etc. Oh the arrogance!

Fortunately he's figured out how to work the washing machine and actually do some chores around the house. So there is hope!

I think I started liking my husband again on about Day 245. So not long to go now OP!

Congratulations x

I hope you're feeling better now

I think it was 3 days after my daughter was born that my partner said he was feeling rough because he'd had too much sleep.

@Oatsamazing Is your partner still alive after that comment? If yes, your restraint was amazing!
