Homesick feeling

I'm 3 weeks PP, my Husband returned to work this week but my Mum has been coming over to help out. We're still trying to work out a routine. My little girl won't really settle for a nap unless she's on me. I've felt really teary and homesick for a couple of days. I love my little girl so much but I also feel like I'm mourning my old life. I miss my Husband and I just feel like I don't know what I'm doing 😩 is this normal???

This is so so normal! Your hormones are crazy right now! You’ll find your own rhythm soon. If you feel up for it a walk outside in the sun helps break up the day. Babies can go anywhere you want so you’ll learn to enjoy it. If your mum is helping out try to catch up on some sleep too 🥰

So normal love I’m nearly 5 months pp and still have days like this. It genuinely does get better but it’s a hugeeeee change and adjustment

I was exactly the same , literally. My partner had just started a new job so didn’t qualify for paternity leave - he went back to work on the Monday after I had her on the Saturday 😭 I was balling my eyes out every time he had to leave the hospital. She’s now 8 weeks old and please believe me when I say it gets better, without knowing if you’ll just fall into a mini routine (strict ones really don’t happen at this age so don’t expect so much of yourself) I love our slow mornings together , watching my favourite show and getting some fresh air in the afternoon. Your Emotions / hormones will be all out of wack rn but you’ll hit week 5/6 and all of a sudden feel like you’re getting the hang of it a bit. I don’t cry every day anymore 😄 Remember to give yourself grace ❤️
