Overwhelmed

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Have you got a partner you can talk to and that supports you?
I had an emergency c section and it made me feel like I’d missed all the special moments like seeing her be born, holding her for the first time, feeding her colostrum I didn’t get to do any of it. I couldn’t stop crying for weeks but everyday got a little bit better. If it wasn’t for my partner I don’t know how I would have got through it.

You should definitley talk to someone. Sending lots of love. You can always message me if you need a friend to talk to 😊

You should definitely speak to the doctor at your appointment. We are all often guilty of not speaking up if we are feeling okay in that moment so I’d advise in advance writing down how you are feeling when at your lowest, then you can refer to that during the appointment. With your friends they might be wanting to give you space and people get so caught in their own lives, why don’t you reach out to them and say you’d love visitors or to meet up. Also look up any local mum groups and /or baby classes - through this you might meet even just one other mum who you can talk to and they will be someone you can message in the night you as they will no doubt also be up! Sending lots of love, the nights can be hard and lonely but you’ve got this xx

It’s very normal to feel like this I do to! I would go to your GP and tell your friends how you are feeling x

I had a chat with mine and they making more effort now x

Self care as a mummy is super super important you cannot pour from an empty cup! Xxx 🩷
