Ramadan, postpartum and relationship advice

Salam ladies I am hoping I can get some advice if anyone has been through this. I am wondering how to survive post partum in ramadan with a toddler and newborn and also surviving my relationship with my husband as last time my birth was traumatic and it was really difficult with husband. Advice on how we can survive this during Ramadan and what plan we can come up with?

Walaykum asalaam Get as much help as you can whether thats from your husband, family and friends. But you do need to discuss it with ur husband he will be the one that can help you the most with chores and looking after the kids. Make sure you get time alone to relax even if its just an hour or two where u can have a cup of tea or watch something on tv or go see a friend etc Maybe decide on whats on the menu for the week to make it easier so you do the food shop after u have decided and then try cooking two different meals when your husband is off work so that you have food for a couple of days and then decide on a day where he can cook and you rest. These little things will make a big difference Try having a nap during the day even if it is one hour it will give u that energy boost. I try to sleep when my toddler is asleep for an hour or two and it really helps. My advice would be to get help when you need it. This is really important to get a break from the kids

Btw you can message me, i have a toddler and newborn, its a struggle and im also starting to think about Ramadan too. It will be difficult with two young children.

Wsalam thank you for advice! Great tips. Having a planned c section about 2/3 days before Ramadan due to complications so thinking about how will we able to cope with lack of my movement etc. we don’t have a big family just his parents my parents have passed. So yes we will need to plan ahead and think about what we will do. Jzk
