Husband back to work

My partner went back 1 week pp. I got very lucky to have midwife and hv appointments My first 2 days solo. Otherwise I tried to make sure I had support come over, even if it was just for a cuppa to break up the day so I didn't end up feeling alone. Have you got somebody that you could call round just for a bit of company for an hour to break up the day a bit? Honestly felt like that saved my life that first week. Also try and get outside. Even if its just having a cuppa outside while baby naps if you can. Fresh air will really help with cabin fever, and reach out to somebody, if you need x

It is scary but you will get through the day and it will become easier as you heal. Before you know it he will be back home to support you!
The thing I struggled most with once my partner went back to work was eating myself (because my partner was making all the food while he was off) especially breastfeeding you need your energy so maybe try and have things that are easy and quick to eat while no one is there.
Try and soak up the time just you and baby but if you need company call a friend or like above if someone can come over. My daughter’s godmother came round a few times so I could have a bath or a nap that really helped.
I also found a few good comfort series at that stage xx

Unfortunately I don't have anyone who can come over, it's been really eye opening how little support we have as neither of us have friends or family close by 😞

I made sure that no tasks/chores lwft done and we are stocked with food/meals for me to be able to squeeze in meal/food if LO is napping/sleeping. Made sure that Everything is ready/available for us when husband is away.

So all i have to do is focus on little one and to have atleast some food for myself.

But not gonna lie, emotions and thoughts would be all over the place when youre on your own as i was also going through postpartum depression, but yeah anything for little one

Oh hun I remember this all too well with my first born she's almost 5 now but I still remember the morning my partner went back to work after having 2 weeks off, he was amazing and still is. I sat on the bed and cried when he left. I obviously didn't cry in front of him because I didn't want him to feel bad, I know how uneasy and nerve-wracking this feeling is but honestly you'll be fine each day will get easier and easier, don't worry about housework or cooking just focus on you and baby and if you have anyone around you that will help with washing or general housework take up the offer.
You've got this ❤️
