FTM Currently struggling and needing to talk to someone

Hi I had my baby on Monday afternoon through c section and currently struggling with my hormones and anxiety/ crying spells. I have a nurse visit at home and I’m scared they are going to judge me on how I handle / not handle stuff with my mental health as a FTM and not sleeping at all. Currently don’t have anyone to talk to about it since I’m the first friend in my group to have a baby

Hey doll! Firstly congratulations on your little one. Secondly please try remember they do this every single day. They are there to help you not judge you. I felt exactly the same but I didn’t have a C-section (I did it the easy way, you’re a soldier) but I promise you it will calm down. And I’m here if you want to chat. Do you have anyone around you? Xx

@Meagan I currently don’t really have anyone near me. But I will message you

Hormones have a lot to answer for, congratulations on your bundle of joy. What you're experiencing is normal in pp. Please talk to ylthe midwife that comes to see you and let her know how much your struggling so you can get the best support. They're here to help and they don't judge, infact they encourage you to be honest do they can help.

Hey there, I’ve been in your shoes. Postpartum blues is so common I’m sure they’ve seen this many times. I worked in the medical field and after a while there’s not much that can surprise a nurse working with a first time mom. Don’t apologize for anything right. Be easy on yourself 💕 focus on you and baby and accept all the possible support you can get. It’s okay to not feel ok, and if the nurse ever makes you feel uncomfortable in your safe zone, you can always ask for a different one.

Hey I’m always up for a chat or FaceTime. I had a c section aswell and struggle with anxiety so your not alone. I am also a FTM but helped raise my brother so that has helped me a lot xx

Congrats on the arrival of your lil one! You made it through child birth which is huge... and delivered a healthy baby. I also gave birth on Monday, but it was an emergency c section at 28 weeks. My emotions are also all over the place, especially seeing our baby in icu - I feel guilty because he had to come so early and couldn't be protected for longer. I know it was the safe choice but the hormones right now are so volatile. I know its normal and it is for you too, so just know we are all in this together. You just gave birth so no one will judge you for feeling all the things you're meant to. I cry a few times a day, especially when we visit our son. I applaud you for sharing your personal story - you are stronger than you think.
