Feeling depressed

I just delivered my baby about 20days ago via cesarean. I am doing my confinement now and I don’t feel good with everything. I just feel that I am very ugly (because of my bulgy tummy), dirty (because of confinement, I can’t wash my hair every day and I am still bleeding) and pain everywhere (wound, nipples and breast pain as I am only pumping and not latching). Does anyone else feel that way as well? My baby doesn’t want me when she cries as well. Sigh. #1stimemom #advicepls

Hi, What you are experiencing is normal post pregnancy and you need not worry much. Just take one step at a time and right now focus on taking rest and healing yourself. Also, bonding with baby happens slowly slowly so please don't be hard on yourself. Whenever you feel stressed, do speak to your husband on how you feel and wash your hair everyday as it keeps you fresh and relaxed plus maintaining hygiene is very important. Take car mum!
