Feeling down

2 weeks ago I gave birth to a beautiful little girl. But I have felt pretty useless ever since. My partner is constantly throwing jabs at my parenting and I end up crying most days. I had to have an emergency c section which makes me feel like a total failure. And then I get home and my partner just bangs on that I should be breast feeding 🙄. I did it for 2 weeks I'm done!

Just seen this post op. Hope you're feeling better. Don't feel like a failure, I also had an emergency c section after 15 hours of labour and 1.5 hours of pushing. The fact it was an emergency is out of your control. As far as breast feeding goes I'm 6 months in and the first few weeks are the hardest! You tried and you gave your baby the most important bits so well done! Hope you're ok
