6 weeks postpartum and feeling insecure in relationship

Hi ladies, I gave birth to our little one 6 weeks ago. My partner and I weren’t seeing eachother long before getting caught (one to many drinks post lockdown) during the pregnancy we’ve both been very happy, no issues what so ever. However since giving birth I’ve been feeling really irrationally insecure about our relationship. He’s given me no reason to feel this way and is supportive and loving but can’t seem to shake the insecurities surrounding his past relationship. They’d been together for 6 years however she cheated on him and he broke things off. I just can’t help but feel that if she hadn’t have done that they’d still be together and does he still want her. Like I’ve said I know logically speaking this isn’t true and he is happy with me but I feel like I’m tormenting myself with these thoughts as I don’t feel myself ( I know I’m not going to 6 weeks after giving birth) but he works away for 5 days at a time and I’m also feeling insecure about him being unfaithful. I guess I’m just wanting to know if other women felt the same after giving birth and how they overcame it

It's because having a baby makes your world shrink. You don't feel like yourself anymore.

Do you have friends OP?
