I feel like it’s normal, I mean your body has been going through a lot, hormones are all over the place etc. I felt rather tearful for two weeks pp. I wanted to go out relatively soon, but that’s just me. I remember at my antenatal classes, the midwife repeated few times it’s ok to say “no”. It depends how long your state lasts, if longer than few weeks maybe just contact parental team to have someone to talk to
We didn’t allow anyone at the house for at least the first 6 months and we just stayed in our bubble and enjoyed every moment I say mama you are normal.
If you’re concerned about any kind of postpartum mental illness definitely check in with your doctor or ob gyn. I had prenatal and postpartum depression but didn’t know what it was until 4 weeks pp. I felt so alone and isolated I know we have different situations since you just want to be in your bubble but take care be comfortable and know your boundaries. If you ever feel not normal check in with a doctor
It’s okay to say NO! I didn’t have anyone at the hospital but my husband for that reason. My MIL only came for a week a week after I got back from the hospital because husband had to go back to work due to starting a new job and I couldn’t really move around that much because I lost a lot of blood during labor, so I needed someone to help, but other then that my friends haven’t came over and I told them they have to wait till baby is 3months or has his full set of shots for them to come see him. It’s okay to set your standards, you aren’t here to please no one. I understand how you feel about wanting to be alone and just learn how to be a mom without anyone’s else opinion. Also I look a mess and I don’t want to entertain people with the little energy I have. You need to set those boundaries and people need to understand. If they get mad, oh well..
