Why do I get so irritated with my husband nowadays? Is this normal after baby comes?

6d trước

It's incredibly common to feel more irritable and easily annoyed with your partner after a baby arrives – and it's a question many new parents quietly wonder about! These feelings are often a very normal, though tough, part of adjusting to new parenthood. This common irritation often stems from a mix of sleep deprivation, ongoing hormonal shifts, the overwhelming demands of a newborn (which can lead to feeling like tasks aren't equally shared), and the identity shift both partners are navigating. While these feelings are a shared experience, if the irritation feels constant, leads to frequent arguments, or significantly impacts your relationship, openly discussing it with your partner or seeking support from a healthcare professional can be really helpful.
