[quote=Anonymous]OP, are there people you're close to that you can share your feelings about this with? I had a friend come visit after my first was born who is not a baby person...and part of why I was so excited to see her was that I knew she'd care more about me than DD. I'm Indian-American, and in Indian culture there is the idea of mothers needing 40 days of rest and recuperation post-partum. My mom's no the warmest person in general, but it was nice to have her here talking about needing to take care of "her baby" (i.e. me). American culture is insane in its expectations of moms bouncing back post-partum. Not even western European countries/cultures have that expectation.[/quote]
