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

Talk openly to anyone within your family or with your friends whom have a positive mindset whom you are comfortable with. Don't be depressed, you have given birth to a wonderful baby, joy should be ahead while you take care and raise your baby in the years ahead. Motivate yourself, think positive and don't let depression defeat you. If you are down, who to care for your baby, your hubby & your family? Stay Positive mummy! Mummy please - when our baby was a new born she also cry when we tried to carry her. We as parents need to learn how to carry and coax our baby in a responsible and caring way, only then baby will feel a sense of security and feel comfortable.
