“It gets better”
Show your support
I'm only 4 days into this myself, it's very tough. No two babies are the same and all we can do is be here to support each other through these times.
I also second the above comment. I’ve so far found the new born stage easier with my second and found it so tough with my first however last night (week 3) was my first moment of tears as I couldn’t get my little girl to settle in her Moses basket but I just keep thinking about my first and how he is now 2 and how quickly it’s gone and I don’t feel any pain or hardship from his new born stage I actually look back on it so fondly so I just keep trying to remind my self of that in the hard moments. The “fourth trimester” is hard, your baby basically depends on you like they would have in the womb craving warmth and cosy space except now you have to try and replicate that on the outside and it’s a lot more demanding! Keep going and sending thoughts of solidarity!
Thank you girls! I definitely think it will be easier with any future children, being a FTM means the anxiety and tiredness is so much worse because I don’t know what’s normal and newborns make some strange noises. I’m just trying to enjoy it because I know she’ll never be this little again
I know it’s so annoying when people say it when you’re in the thick of it but trust me it’s true 😅 with my first son the newborn stage was HARD and an absolute blur. But it flew by and I hardly think back of those endless nights being awake. Ask for help from family and friends if you have the option to and just keep going! 💕
