Hormone drop - 6 days pp

Hi, I only have a newborn and it’s been hard enough so I imagine it’s extra hard with another kid x I was induced which I’ve read makes the drop extra intense, and I tried to be rational about it but it is super rough, you can rationalise all you want but you can’t help feeling what you feel. My advice would be to cry as much as you can (can flush out hormones) and have someone you can talk honestly with (I was literally nursing my LO while talking on the phone with my friend how I feel like throwing her across the room). It does get better, my LO is just over two weeks now and for me most of the bad thoughts are gone xxx wishing you all the best x

This is also my second baby and I have a 2 year old aswell so I can completely relate. I am. 8 days PP and also spent a lot of yesterday upset with the idea of my partner going back to work. Which is silly really as my partner is off until the end of March so still plenty of time…
All I can say is you are not alone, it’s perfectly normal and it will get better x

You’re definitely not alone, I am 17 days pp and just starting to come around. I have a 4 yr old who is also being challenging.

I’m still finding the hormones intense but working on it day by day. Leaning into it and telling myself it is going to pass. I am taking vitamins and iron tablets and trying to eat and drink whenever I can.

The sleeplessness is rough especially because I can’t sleep in the day but the days are going by quickly.
It’s going to get better Xx

This is my second baby too, my LO is 2 and the mam guilt is extreme. My eyes are swollen today from having a good cry lastnight about not giving him enough attention! I’m 14 days PP but had to spend a few nights in hospital at the weekend due to hemmorhaging so I feel like I’ve not spent enough time adjusting to the new normal. It was me and my little boy most days just us doing things and I feel like his tantrums have gotten worse since not being able to spend time with him. I feel like I’ve ruined him😂😅 so don’t worry you are not alone xxx

Yes my little girls tantrums have cranked up about five notches, it’s such a big change for them isn’t it but also so frustrating when it’s so out of character 😭
