How do I leant to stop doing this?

[Meadows20]

We're FTPs with a two week old. I had a EMCS and have found recovery massively frustrating. My DP is honestly so caring but with sleep deprivation, learning how to look after a newborn and generally just feeling overwhelmed has been snappy/snarky with me which he never is.

I blew my fuse this morning...and I knew what I was saying would upset him. It did and now I feel awful. Yes, I was upset with him for making me feel like an inconvenience but this wasn't intentional...me upsetting him was intentional and just really malicious and nasty.

How do I stop doing this? I immediately regret it after and am full of apologies but I see each time I do this I'm eroding his self-confidence and esteem :(

Sorry baby brain fail! Title say 'How do I learn to stop doing this?'

Right, your body is still pregnant. Your body will probably still feel pregnant for at least the next 6 months (hormones). You and your partner need to understand this.

Newborns are SO exhausting, and it'll continue to be like that for at least the next 3 months. You're going to have your battles with each other, just don't give up on each other during it all.
