My ultimate tip to seeming like I have it more together than I do is to dress better than I feel. Hang in there. I won't say it gets easier, but the things that are difficult changes as time goes on
U r not alone …. The first few months after my son was born I was hearing phantom crying as in he was perfectly asleep in his crib in his room and I’d constantly check the monitor and tip toe into his room and make sure he was asleep and breathing I had a huge fear of SIDS . The first few months I also spent day and night taking care of my son so much so that I’d normally forget to eat anything myself and just worry about caring for him instead . I thought when he slept thru the night that we were getting better and then PPD hit me hard again at the 6 month mark and I broke into tears that he was growing up and he should be loved by everyone so let’s just say we celebrated his 6 months just dinner at our old apartment but still 😆 at this point at 2 years old things are better he still sleeps thru the night and he can tell me a lot of his wants and needs but we do still have tantrum days and no nap exhaustion and just know it’ll all be okay .
You grow as a mom and person with your child. I’m not the mom I was when I had my first or even the time I had my second. This is still new for you and each stage brings new challenges. Bad moms don’t question their parenthood, good moms do🫶🏻 with time you’ll figure things out quicker and know what your child is wanting for needing. It’s a learning curve that is basically just you winging it and hoping for the best. Don’t be hard on yourself, we’ve all been there 🥰🥰
Remember looks don't mean 💛 also for me, that fourth trimester was HORRRIIBBLEE for various reasons and I think a lot of women felt it was difficult too
You’re not alone. I struggled hard for the first 2-3 years of motherhood. Looks can be deceiving. Don’t compare yourself to others ❤️
the way i prepared for motherhood was a lot of research, reading etc when i was family planning so that nothing could surprise me, it made it 100000x easier lol
take it one day at a time, i hope you have a good support system and can take breaks even needed ♡ don’t be too hard on yourself
Today was exhausting and a lot of “omg”in my brain trust me you are not alone
Thanks everyone. ❤️ today has been such a struggle.
Girl 95% of the time I’m winging it! The first few months for me were hard healing from a c section and dealing with a newborn and my husband going back to work and unfortunately having a ton of overtime. Money wise it was great but I felt alone a lot of the time but weekends my husband spent time and gave me a bit of a break. Now with my 2 year old sometimes I do lose my patience but I just gotta walk away so he doesn’t see it. Parenthood isn’t gonna be 100% amazing at all times you’re gonna be exhausted, get frustrated but your body is also healing from all the hormone changes and your organs are going back to where they were your body is working hard. Don’t beat yourself up you got this!
