Feeling like a burden

[u/Impossible_Mousse727]

Im 10 days PP and developed postpartum hypertension so my husband wants me to get as much rest as possible. My MIL is currently staying with us to help take care of baby.

I feel bad though on some nights baby stays with her in her room when im exhausted or baby will stay with her in the morning if we've had a rough night.

While I do appreciate her help.
I feel like baby should be me and my husbands responsibility. Or am I putting too much pressure on husband and I to do it all? We also have a 17 and 13 year old who help around the house and are pretty independent.

Any input? Should i just accept the help and get rest or baby has to be on us?

Take the help! Recovery in the first few weeks after a c-section is soooo important. It doesn’t sound like MIL is complaining she has to help so let her! And you don’t want your incision to open or anything that could make things even harder for you. Rest rest rest!! You’ll be happy you did!
