Thank you to everyone who helpfully responded on my prior thread. Several of you correctly (and gently) noted that I appeared to be suffering from pretty severe anxiety and provided helpful feedback about how to ground myself. I’m working on it.
When things are less intense I’ll likely seek therapy for my PPA. I still blame myself for going so early.
My baby is 5 weeks old today and is finally over 3kg. He seems to be doing well and I have started taking him places in the pram. He finally can fit in the sling and I’m thrilled.
Things are still hard. I wish I had a more concrete roadmap and my health visitor isn’t super helpful, but we’re getting through.
Thank you to everyone who reached out. I’d appreciate anyone who has been here before sending through any “challenges” to get back to normal. hearing people say they took their babies out right away really helped me.
