I hope someone can give me some direction on how to get help right after I give birth. We’re in the middle of separation and are in the process of moving to our separate accommodation before the baby comes as our tenancy expires just before my due date. I’m mostly worried how I’ll cope living alone with my first baby. I don’t have any close friends I can rely on, or family. So I just feel terrified of how I’ll be able to look after the baby, especially in the first few weeks while I’m also still recovering. My (ex)partner said he would help, but I’m not too sure how if he’s not there, and we both agreed that little one will be breastfed only, so it’s not like we can swap days or something similar. I’m just so overwhelmed with everything, and I feel that something that was supposed to be the happiest time of my life is turning in to a nightmare. We argue all the time and it’s affecting me and little one and I don’t want it to continue after we start living apart. Any idea who to turn to, or maybe things won’t be so bad and I’ll be ok too be on my own and I’m just panicking for no valid reason?
Thanks for reading and any advice or direction!
