Hi Anu akka…just a post I came across which said
“Newborns are hard on a marriage. I love my husband, but that period of time tested us like no other, and I worried we wouldn’t make it. Sure, milestone photos are cute, but we need to talk about the true reality of that first year. It’s really hard.”
and I thought why not ask you to share in your page.

I write this sitting alone in my hall, when my husband and my 6 month old baby girl are fast asleep. I m dead tired but I every night the thought of how hard it has been this past 6 months worries me. I was surprised by a lot of things my husband did for me when I delivered my baby. He stayed at the hospital, I have never seen him scared and he was exhausted physically and mentally. The postpartum depression was horrible.

We had a fight almost everyday. There were days I couldn’t stand him. Everything made me tear up and some still does. The strain and pressure as a new mom to hold everything together is real. The sense of loss is real. There are days I thought I won’t make through all this. I know a lot of mothers feel this way. So many ppl out there who don’t know what to do and how to react or how to go about it. Suddenly all the romance seems to have melted into thin air. Maybe some days we don’t see eye to eye.

How do people go through this? What can we do to bring it all back. Or to make it better? Some days it’s so scary and other days is some equally bad feeling. Are there mothers out there who face this just like me?
