I have a 2 week old and I love him to bits but sometimes I find myself grieving my old life where me and my husband could just do what we want when we wanted. Also me and my husband have a great relationship and as selfish as it sounds I miss being his everything and having to share, is this normal or has anyone had any similar experiences ? I feel like a terrible mother

I was the exact same with my first, it gets better with time and this will just become your new normal, you will also get a bit of your old life back eventually.
It’s a huge change and completely normal to feel this way. I questioned my decision to have children daily for those first few weeks. Hang in there, it gets better xx

Exactly like said it’s a huge change with your first baby, you don’t know what to expect. The thing I missed the most is just two of us being able to get up and pop out anywhere.
Kids grow fast though, my first baby is almost 3 and he’s that age where you can take him and pop out anywhere without much prep, just get a couple toys, a snack and a drink, you don’t need the kitchen sink like you do when they’re babies.
This phase is only temporary, they get big in a blink of an eye xx
