Stress after birth

People are being insensitive. I just gave birth and I’m struggling. I still can’t walk or sit properly and my in laws are saying I’m not doing much compared to others. They’re also saying the other in laws took only 3 days and they’re doing chores. Mil even said she wasn’t this weak then. I get 2 hours of sleep Everyday and no one is helping. I feel like I’m on my own and I’m breaking down. My husband is not being there for me as much as I want to. Am I being too sensitive? Am i taking Too Long to recover?

You are not too sensitive. Your in laws are too much. You need time to rest and recover. How to recover and rest when you only slept for 2 hours a day? What do they want you to do? Chores? This is crazy. Everyone has a different rate of recovery and how could they expect you to recover in 3 days? I took close to 6 weeks to recover after giving birth. It was similar to your situation. I can’t even walk or sit properly for 6 weeks due to the stitches. I also couldn’t sleep well as I was latching my baby on demand. My physical and mental state were in a bad shape but I had a confinement lady and my own mum and sister to seek support from. Seek help now rather than break down. Your baby needs the best version of you! Hang in there! Ask your husband to help out or talk to his parents. Don’t let them bully you. Can you ask your own parents to help you out or get a confinement lady?
