How are all you mummas coping postpartum? It’s my second time round I’d say my mood is a lot better than the first time but I definitely have my emotional moments and my mum guilt is horrendous😢 I feel so bad on my first born because I’m so busy with the newborn. Does anyone else dread nighttime? It can be so lonely but just remember your not alone! Most of us are going through this and it will pass! Just enjoy the time you have with your newborn because it goes to fast you’ve got this♥️

Honestly… I’m struggling. I feel like I’m not doing enough for my boy I feel like I’m doing it all by myself my partner very rarely does anything. My boy was in the nicu and I couldn’t wait to bring him home and I just feel like ever since he has come home I keep worrying that I’m not doing enough for him and his not eating enough. Etc etc I think I’m just being too hard on myself. But oh my this doesn’t get spoken about enough in my opinion

am i coping? I’m not sure it’s only been 1 night back home with both babies (2 under 2) it’s so hard when ur eldest also needs you soo much too. I just want to rip myself up in half and be enough for both but feels impossible 💔

Same here ,second time round my mood is up and down. I feel guilty for my first born. But keep reminding myself to be kind to myself, it's all a big change and sleep deprivation definitely doesn't help! I also dread the nights!We got this 😍

Second time here too. Definitely finding it harder and I also dread the nights! I keep wishing time away, looking forward to when he's older and I'm less sleep deprived and he's less colicky and then feel bad for wishing time away!

I’m 38 weeks and today I’ve been feeling so emotional 😭 all I can think about it my little boy and how he is going to cope with not having me to himself and am I really ready for it not to be just ‘us’ anymore! Mum guilt already kicked in and the baby isn’t here yet
