First time mom feelings
FTM here to a gorgeous baby girl and while days are mostly good, it’s so easy to look online and see influencers globetrotting, feeding babies, having dinners with husbands and not feel like I am just a worrier who goes through the day and constant flux of leaps and growth spurts with not the attitude I hoped I would have. Partially I think this 4th month is to blame with sleep disruptions, I feel like I can tear up at any given point but I also feel very blessed. It feels like time is passing by so fast with baby girl growing and I am stuck in a worried but happy limbo mood.
When I feel like this, everyone else seems to have it easier somehow.
Does anyone feel the same?

Spent the last 2 hours with my boy screaming as he was overtired now I’m crying in the pitch black whilst he sleeps. This shit is hard, I feel you 100% x
Feel you 🥹
🙌 this is my second and still feel like this most days. They have reflux which my first didn’t and it feels more unsettled generally but the days go so fast with school runs to do etc even at baby groups hearing other mums going excersise by themselves or date nights etc makes me think i’m doing something wrong with my days 🤦♀️🤦♀️

This made me feel a little bit sad reading this. I totally feel for you. When I was a FTM I felt EXACTLY the same. Even though she was a good baby I found so attached to her nap schedule so I’d see other mums with their babies aswell in their prams and feel really down about it because I just couldn’t do that as she wouldn’t sleep in a pram, only in her cot. Even now with 2 under 2 I feel so lonely and like no one else knows what it’s like. Of course people do, I just can’t believe how hard it is, especially with them being poorly for 4 solid months. You go through stages of feeling like you’re smashing it to worrying and feeling down. Try to avoid looking at social media, you know those people all have their difficulties, but it’s not easy looking at how ‘perfect’ their lives are!
