Is anyone else struggling with it all? Never having a peaceful night again, the relentlessness of the days? I’m so upset I can’t imagine when this gets better or ever having another baby if this is what we have to get through. Does it get better?

It does get better. I think particularly when babies start sleeping better, cause the sleep deprivation is real! The pure exhaustion of the first few weeks was making me feel delisional, honestly!
But also, if you feel like things have not improved for you at all from the first weeks, I think speaking to your hv or doctor about it might be useful. Just to make sure it's not pp depression.

I found when my first was 10 months things got alot easier.

I’m finding I still have good and bad days. I may have a run of good days then bam, I can’t stop crying and feel completely overwhelmed and hopeless! I’ve decided to see a therapist as I’m concerned it may be creeping into PPD, but even if not I think it’s good to speak to someone impartial about my feelings.
I also find getting out the house really helps. I’ve noticed the days I don’t leave the house are generally my down days xxx
