Im exactly the same!!
please hang in there, my boy is 8 weeks now and i’m starting to feel better. you can do it. it’s such a big change and you must allow yourself to have these feelings and not feel bad about it. you can do it !!!
I'm 5 weeks in and in the same boat 😔 it's so hard
I have a 19 month old and 8 week old, the newborn stage is hard but you get into a rhythm and routine eventually. No one prepares you for how much your life will change but as your baby gets older you do gain some life back, my daughter is 19 months and although she is still young I have regained some me time back as I’m lucky to have lots of support and babysitters , now I have a newborn my life is kind of on hold again lol but it will be okay after a few months x
I was dreading my husband going back to work but actually found a greater sense of normality once he did. He went back when our baby was about 5 weeks. I tend to go out most days even if it’s just for a short time as our baby sleeps better in her car seat and pram and the combination of that and other people holding her makes me feel less in demand.
My girl is 5 weeks old soon to be 6 and I felt the same way. Especially anxious when my partner went back to work however you work your own routine out when they go back. I loved my partner being home all the time but now I can't wait for him to go to work. Getting out of the house works even if it's just a walk round the block with the buggy. Xxxxx
