Hang on there Amarose! It is very stressful whn you have a new baby-even if you don't have any MI. Of you have MI, it can trigger many issues! Please talk to your hubby, many yrs ago, whn I had my new baby-I ran around/kept trying do all-until I ran myself right into the ground-depression, then acute anxiety-couldn't get medmix correct and went inpt after 1yr of craziness for me! So please, talk to hubby about he needs do x, y, z. Needs let you sleep -he needs take turn up with baby, feed him, etc. I say this especially because sleep deprivation can make you feel more depressed, more stress, more anxious. Hope you have a therapist-if not-in my humble opinion please go to one/bring hubby so therapist can help explain/reinforce what you need. My exhubby was incline to think I just complained unless therapist made it important point! It can be hard, even though we all feel hubby should help with baby-not all men are wired that way-mine tryly belueved he went to work/did repairs all outside work and some shopping-he believed most housework/childcare was wifes domain!!
Again, hang in there and speak up for yourself, please!
