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

I felt the same way after delivering my son in 2018! Mummy, its okay to feel this way. But try to look at the positive side! You managed to give birth to a healthy baby. It took us almost 40weeks to grow them inside of us, give ur body some time to return to pre pregnancy size. You can consider to use dry shampoo for ur hair to make urself feel better. The pain will likely be gone soon, just tahan abit longer ok. We, mommies are strong women! We can and will get thru this tough confinement period! Jiayou jiayou!!!!
