I am done.

I am so sick and tired of being tired.
I'm sick of the sleepless nights.
I'm sick of spending several hours every single night, awake. I'm sick of sitting and crying through sheer exhaustion. Crying because here I go again, and there's nothing I can do about it.
I'm tired of there never being an end in sight.

I'm done waking up every morning feeling exhausted and pissed off because of it.

Have a chat with health visitor, on my questions I got in the post to do before the review it says about sleep and they can help you with it, have you tried feeding baby some warm porridge before bed so they are fuller for longer and go to sleep? Tbh mine ends up in bed with me during the night because I just want sleep and I get a lay in that way 🤦‍♀️💜 your not alone! It’s 3am and I’m wide awake with work soon too 💜

I do all I can every day. I eat healthy, I work out, I go to the gym, I walk. I do all this to make sure I am the best I can be for my children.
My two other children are 7 & 8.. I know all this will pass but I'm struggling so bad.
Can I ask what sleep training you did please? @Marie

I know a nanny means money, but if you can afford someone to takeover the children every day for a few hours, don’t think twice about it.
I was holding onto it for a long time, and it was a life changing choice for my mental sanity.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
