That's so normal in these early stages and it'll get easier! Have you tried a baby sling to wear baby around the house whilst getting stuff done? (Though remember you cant do everything!) Some babies find it soothing and will just sleep. Feel free to message me if you need someone to vent to xx
It’s difficult as it’s such a big change. I’ve started taking my baby girl out and was forced to go to midwife appointments 2 days post partum but I think that actually helped as it broke the barrier of leaving the house but if you can I have found just leaving the house for half an hour for a walk and putting the baby in the carrier has been a massive help. I tend to take her once she’s had a feed and she’s sleeping so I’m quite confident she won’t be waking up
Absolutely normal! I have a 1 year old and a 2 week old! I'm sat in my pjs. Haven't ate since breakfast! All I find myself doing is feeding the kids and changing their nappies 😅
Yep you’re not alone. 4 weeks pp here. Thought it would pass but the sleep deprivation isn’t helping 😢
4 weeks postpartum here! And there’s rarely a day where I don’t have a sob about something. Each day feels a bit lighter though, some days are then tougher than the day before. Just remember you are doing everything perfectly and most definitely are not alone 🫶🏼 I found talking about it really helps, get it all out and reset. Take time for you when you can, the washing up can wait 5 minutes if it means you eating something! You need to look after yourself, my partners advice was make baby fit into your routine! Happy mama = happy baby ❤️ feel free to message me if you need. We can talk through it together xx
I’m feeling exactly the same. You’re not alone! My son is 2 weeks old and I have a feral 2 year old daughter 😂 at home recovering from a c section and I’m crying all the time. It’s normal. Hormones are still all over the place and will be for a while yet. Hang in there mama it doesn’t last forever! If you ever need to talk or need advice on things you can message me privately and we can get through it together.
