Feeling disconnected.

Oh 100%. I feel like I’m mourning our relationship as a couple. I love our new family and I wouldn’t change it but it’s a huge change to our dynamics.

I feel the exact same way it’s so hard isn’t it I feel like there’s no balance at the moment and we’re not able to do the small gestures or even have the conversations we would before because as everything is completely revolved abound baby and just trying to function and keep ontop of the house and work etc

Although we are both besotted with our daughter and wouldn’t change her for the world we have both felt quite down about the lack of quality time, even not having time for a cuddle in bed because baby won’t be put down etc. I know it won’t last forever and newborns are super high maintenance so we’re just trying to make the most of it

100% relate! I was going to post about this yesterday, it’s so so hard! Our relationship lacked the level of intimacy we were used to during pregnancy, and it’s even less so now. I miss my husband so much, it’s making me feel quite lonely. I guess this postpartum period isn’t very sexy either, recovering from birth, changes to our bodies etc. For me, I think I miss the intimacy more because I’m looking for reassurance from my husband at a time when I’m not feeling very confident in myself. I know it’s only temporary and as we find ways of navigating this new life, we’ll find time for each other again.
