My husband and I have been a little stressed. We just had a baby(no sleep), His sibling is having a bit of health issues, and he's going through a custody battle from a previous relationship, and he works 14 hour days so when we see each other we argue about the smallest stupid things. What can I do to help my relationship? Pls note I'm only 2 weeks postpartum from c-section.

Bless your heart.
There is little that you can do physically (note the 2 weeks postpartum from c-section) no driving and such.
Remember your health and babies too,don't venture out just yet.
however think of small things at home you can do for the two of you.
Cute notes under his pillow. Notes on the Bathroom Mirror.Ask a friend to pick up take out for dinner....set it out with Candle lite.
Choose your battles, hold your thoughts. Sounds like you both have a lot going on. Listen to his thoughts...reply with How does that make you feel. I know you must be exhausted long hours and the baby, thank you for all that you are doing....what would I do without the worlds best dad/hubby. :O)
Is this your first baby? I only ask this because some Men...1st baby, wife is nursing, he is working....will feel left out...try to involve him as much as you can.Feedings and looks so much like you...Remind him how much you love him....
I know you need to hear this too....right now however with the working, new baby and health of a loved one...a extra hug from you will be much needed.
Hoping you are feeling great and your recovery is a speedy one.
Wishing you and your new family many smiles...beautiful baby by the way.
Just remember it was the two of you that made three...:O)
Best wishes

Go to his job with a home made lunch for two. Send sexy E-mails to each other, Support him during his brothers time of need( he's supporting you working 14 hours a day). The last thing he needs at the end of a 14 hour shift is petty bickering and arguing. You should be meeting him at the door with a hug. This man sounds like he could snap at any moment. Show concern, he is under a lot of pressure. And most of all you should not be upsetting yourself.

Just be understanding. And hold your tongue as much as you can just to keep the peace. Men do not understand things like we do so just wait until all of that blows over. good luck!! take care of the new baby and CONGRATS!!!!!!!!
