Anyone else worried about the postpartum mess?

Dude it’s getting so hard! I can’t scrub the shower and picking up stuff off the ground is hard. But I’m stressed because I know people will be coming over to visit
I am totally with you! I’ve lost all energy for laundry and cleaning and baby isn’t even here yet 😭
We decided to hire a cleaner since I’d drive myself crazy trying to stay on top of it. We found a reasonably priced service to come biweekly, and started a few weeks ago, so she’s in the rhythm for when baby’s here. It’s been so helpful to only have to worry about light vacuuming, dusting, and clutter between her visits rather than trying to do it all.
I'm so fortunate that we own a cleaning company. I've had someone come clean every 2 weeks for me for about 2 months now. Before that, I'd clean the house myself, but it's getting really hard to find the motivation, and being on my knees with my big belly in the way to clean the tub is almost impossible, lol. Not to mention the exhaustion. Sometimes, I set a timer on my phone for 20 minutes and clean that whole time then I give myself and hour of rest followed by another 20 minutes of organizing and cleaning.
Yes, I try not to think about it but I'm due to have my 5th child so I'm worried about the mess and backed up laundry. But I can only do my best. Good luck
If you have the money for it, we hired a cleaner to come the week before my induction with my first, and she came every week after for the first month. Best investment we ever made because we both had piece of mind. And it's not like we didn't clean up after ourselves but she came and did the bigger stuff like scrubbing the bathrooms and kitchen so we could focus on the smaller things which made it feel less overwhelming
