I gave birth to my beautiful son on 6th november and everything went well during labour etc...but in the last few days i havent stopped crying. I feel like im doing it all on my own bathing changing feeding etc, my bf does a few bottles now and again but thats about it. He also keeps going out everyday leaving me on my own when im supposed to be recovering, im absolutely shattered, we had been trying for a baby for a good 8 months so he should have been prepared for what was ahead and he always complains how tired he is and how much hard work it is yet he is hardly doing anything apart from listening to him cry, i just dont know what to do i thought id have more support than this, he even sat there when i was in labour doing wordsearchs when im in agony! does anyone else have problems like these ??

Hi, its normal to have the 'baby blues' soon after you've had a baby, its to do with the hormones crashing i think. Everything overwhelms you and you can't think how you will ever cope. you will cope though and these very hard tiring days and weeks will eventually get easier.HTH
