Tired

I feel for you mama 🙏🏽 best thing i did was to say f* the house chores and just get on babies schedule.. eat when u can and just rest with baby, it'll get better later

It’s because it’s still so new. You’ll get more into swing of things the more time passes. I absolutely did not enjoy it to begin with either.

I went through this and it was so so difficult. I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel but slowly and surely things came together. You’ve just got to ride these harsh waves. Have a look at the antinatal mental health team near you. They were super helpful for me even just as an ear to moan to and a shoulder to cry on xx

Im so sorry mama is there a way that your husband can afford at least 8 hours of someone to help you? Could do 4 hours one day and 4 the following day? Sometimes even teens are willing to work for minimum wage just to gain experience

I’m so sorry to hear you have no help. Just take it day by day mama. You can only do the best you can and remember to trust your instincts you were made for this! You are strong ❤️ if you feel something within you is telling you feed the baby then do it even if it seems like you may be over doing it your body as a mother knows what she needs. Also try using gripe water if she is fussy or having trouble sleeping at night. I’m no expert as my baby is only 3weeks old but I definitely feel overwhelmed sometimes but then I listen to my Instincts and that usually seems to work. Also lots of prayer helps to if you believe in a God 🙏🏽

@Angel this has to be the best advice. I don't look at the house and when help arrives home after work, i delegate house chores. I ask for food to be brought home as well. It's a lot doing it alone and trying to adjust.

It goes by in the blink of an eye. I know how stressful it is I’m in the thick of it for a second time in the exact same way, with my first we didn’t have family in the state, and my husbands work demands were high as well. I’m doing it all over again now but this time with a toddler. I keep reminding myself that I will someday look back and miss this phase. Like the others have mentioned, just nap when she naps, eat while she sleeps or while you nurse her, cuddle her up, eat when you have time and stay connected to loved ones, even if they are far. It’s a difficult time because they rely 100% on you to survive you almost feel a slave to them. But it can also be such a rewarding time at the expense of your home being neglected (which is fine, trust me it’ll survive)
