Anyone awake

I’m 6 days postpartum and really struggling. My hormones seem to be all over the place and I cry at the drop of a hat. I absolutely love my baby but trying to be a full time new mom while recovering from a c section is so exhausting. I am so physically tired I cry when she wakes up. Anyone else in the first few days trenches ?

Right there with you. I cry over the weirdest things. Still trying to learn how to let my anxieties go, especially when trying to sleep! My girl had a choking spell in the hospital and ended up needing to watch her oxygen for an hour, so I'm deathly afraid it'll happen again when I'm asleep and not near her. I know that's super unlikely but its hard not to feel some way being so responsible for such a cute potato!

Also how is it possible we made an entire human being and now they're just running our lives, in about 90 minutes increments 😆

10 week appointment

Hi :) first time mum here :
I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant and have an appointment with a midwife soon at 10 weeks which I was told would involve blood tests. I wasn’t sure if this would include a scan or would I have to wait until 12 weeks?
Thanks :)

Morning people

Those of you who get up early and feel awake and refreshed, esp if it wasn't a natural thing for you... How? Even if I went to bed at like 7pm and slept I could still easily sleep until like midday the next day. I've always been an insanely tired person and could sleep all day but i feel like I'm wasting my days. I also become irrationally angry when i don't get what i deem to be enough sleep (which is ridiculous seeing as I'd willingly sleep all day) I want to be one of those people who can get up early get ready, instead I struggle getting up when my alarm goes off or I'll sleep until late afternoon if I can then get up feeling groggy and unmotivated to do anything the entire day.

Bleeding

I'm curious to know if anyone else is experiencing changes in their postpartum bleeding? I bled normally for the first 18 days, and then it dwindled down to almost nothing for the past 2 weeks. Well, I just now used the bathroom and noticed I'm back to spotting a lil bit more. Is this normal? I'm currently a month and 5 days postpartum.
