I’m currently 6.5 weeks postpartum with a little boy, who is my absolute world. I’m a FTM and do most things myself as my partner works Monday - Thursday & then has his child (5)from a previous relationship on a weekend. I do all the night feeds, look after my baby through the day and also do bath & bed. I love my little boy more than anything and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him.
recently I’ve been feeling really irritated, angry towards my partner & I’m not sure why, he helps out when he gets in from work through the week, on a weekend I feel as though all his attention is on his other child & me and the baby get pushed out. I’ve tried to include his little girl with the baby but she’s not interested & more interested in having her dad for herself. She’s always wanting to do things just him & her so me & my baby also spend most weekends pushed out.
i find myself snapping at him & getting annoyed over the littlest things which pre pregnancy wouldn’t have bothered me. Does anyone know how long this ‘postpartum rage’ lasts for & is there anything I can do to stop me getting so annoyed?
