Show your support
My daughter is 3 weeks old tomorrow and I feel the same apart from I don’t have my partner since we spilt up due to me having the baby. Have you ever thought about therapy? I’ve been going and it really helps talking to someone or even talking to a family member or friend. It’s ok to feel like that. you’re an amazing mum and I bet you’re son loves you a lot
Give it a bit longer and see how you’re feeling. I was feeling this way, and it seemed to get progressively worse until I was like 2 weeks & 5 days postpartum. I’m only 3 weeks and 2 days right now, but I am already starting to feel a lot better than I was. Hopefully it lasts, I’m not sure yet because it’s only been a few days that I’ve been feeling better. It is starting to give me hope though! I’ve been able to get a bit more sleep these past few days because we no longer have to wake baby in the night for feeds, and I’ve noticed a significant change in my mental health since getting extra sleep. Just give yourself some grace, make sure that you’re taking care of yourself as well (to the best of your ability. I know it’s hard right now!!). If you’re still feeling this way by the time you have your postpartum appointment, bring it up with your doctor. You can also send me a message if you want to talk!
you’re only one week and 2 days postpartum mommy. Your hormones are still all over the place and you have a lot of learning and figuring out to do, you’re in your 4th trimester, baby is learning how to live but you’ve also entered a new phase in life, give yourself some grace you deserve it! You’ve now gone through one of the most traumatic and beautiful experiences in life and it does take a toll but its doable. It might be PPD but dont be afraid to ask for help if you need it! Never think you’re a bad mom for feeling overly sad its just the way the mind works. You will be okay, you will be happy! If you want to do something to make you feel happy do it! Don’t be afraid to live life while also being a mother! You are doing an amazing job mommy never forget that!!!! 🫶🏽
Hun I was in your shoes not so long ago where you feel like you’re doing it alone. It’s overwhelming especially during that newborn phase. My partner used to dash out the door as soon as he could but now I’m doing it alone, I’ve been able to find my feet, the baby blues comes and goes but it does get better. If you can get help from anyone else please do try to have time for yourself where you can sleep and eat. If you wanna pm me feel free to🫶🏽
Thank you so much too all of you xx
I’ve been through exactly this and all I can say is trust me it does slowly get better , just do anything and everything you can to distract yourself. My biggest regret was not doing as much as I could with my baby while he was little so try your hardest to enjoy while he’s small still even though it’s hard 🫶
