Struggling with postpartum depr*ssion and dcl being your biggest support and a great dad while you're trying to get better
----------------------------—————————-
Well this wasn't how you imagined the first few weeks of the afterbirth to be, being beyond exhausted, not wanting to go out, wearing the same pyjamas day after day and in the end, getting diagnosed with postpartum depression, it was the part of having a baby that nobody told you about. It hurt you to know you were missing out on the first few months of your son's life, feeling like you were failing as a mother, I mean the fact that you were scared to take a moment for yourself cause you knew as soon as you did, he'd start crying, was embarrassing for you to say the least. Even though you weren't feeling your best at the minute, it did make you happy to know Dom was by your side to help care for both you and your baby boy. It was the little things he did which made you love him more everyday, all the night feeds so you could have a lie in, bringing you breakfast in bed every morning, cuddling up on the sofa on a nighttime to watch your favourite films, even just simply giving you a kiss and telling you how perfect you were to him was enough, he really was the best boyfriend you could wish for and the best dad your son could want ❤️
