Dont give into the anger

I had this, but mostly cos my “expectations” compared to “Reality” I love romance movies and shouldn’t even consider looking at the dads after bubs was born. My partner helped when he could and worked full-time/casual pay, and I wanted him there for everything, but he also needed sleep like I needed and needed alone time like I needed..

I didn’t experience this. The comments on this thread are interesting though. I would think sleep deprivation and hormones would play a big part in how you’re feeling.

Getting a child is a major change in your life and asks for major adjustments. Hormones certainly play a part and it takes months for your body to recover and find your balance back.

I hated my partner post-birth. everything he did pissed me off, and everything he didnt do. my bub came a little early and i was so overwhelmed with everything, my partner wasnt very helpful or supportive and i had mild PND which didnt help either.
we still have some very dark days but i think the main thing that got us thru it was just time, time to learn to live as a family and support one another. i can get very moody when im on the pill too and going on the pill only a short time after the birth may have contributed to my partner’s attitude toward me.

Maybe a checkup with a GP? Hormones can impact.

I believe a lot of it is hormones. I went through some horrible times coming down off the massive hormone high that is pregnancy. I can’t say how long hormones take to go down to normal. I was affected pretty badly by the hormone rise and even struggle on the pill now. The in arm version turned me into a dribbling mess and had to be removed. I hate hormones.

Sorry to read about your experience. I have not experienced this. Would a counsellor be of assistance? Someone to talk to about your feelings?
