HOUSE A MESS!!!

I’m drowning and spiraling! I need help bad… 3bd/2b apartment and I just can’t keep up. I’m tired all the time. Postpartum depression. I got pregnant while in my first postpartum and never completed it. I have a 8 month old and 2 year old … I just want to sleep, so that’s what I do… and wake up everyday to a mess of an house 😣

when you say it’s a mess what is it exactly? I have some systems I can pass down to help
I have a 4bd 2.5 bath with laundry room, backyard and kitchen .. I learned to keep up with my housework so If I can do it YOU can do it too

Hi girly. I feel you. I’m 9 months deep with my second and 4 going on 5 year old. It’s a lot and very very overwhelming. I understand 1000% (clean house is clean mind). I will say to have partner help with picking up after himself and oldest if possible. Tackle one thing a time. Ask for support. If you have Facebook there are moms there who need the extra cash and will come over to help even if it’s for an hour or anything you want. Or if you can hire a cleaning service. It’s honestly was saved me this time around (hired someone for the first 6m). It’s a a lot financially but cutting other places helped. Good luck. You got this.

Aw sending you hugs.I'm starting to feel like I'm losing my mind ngl. I totally understand. I had 2 under 2 and whew. They are 3 and almost 2( next month) On top of that I wasnt even getting the help neede .from their father and still isnt. I Breastfed both too. Do what you can. A load of laundry once a day and fold. Put in a low stimulating show for toddler while you fold or wash dishes . Where is the dad? He needs to step up and help out more and just bcus he works don't mean a damn thing. He can come home get cleaned up and take over the children or help you out.

I do the dishes after each meal or if the babies hungry after she eats,I vacuum 2 times during the week, counters/stove top are clean when I do the dishes and I do clean under the stove top/fridge once every two weeks and laundry I normally wash throughout the week and fold on the weekend. Bathroom I clean every two weeks. Sometimes I’ll do laundry twice a week but rarely depending on how I’m feeling.

Do you clean better when u can have a body double (someone on the ft with you cleaning with you?)

Awww if you were near by id come and check on you❤️.
I think you need to rest as much as you can right now tbh. I have a 18 month old and 🥴 if i had a baby too i know it would be a challenge. Try some recharge rituals where u take 10 minutes to focus on yourself intentionally sprinkled through the day. If u can get a shower, a smoothie, 10 minutes listening to something motivational, 10 minutes of prayer in and sprinkle that throughout your day to help u recharge.
Also have u had blood work done? Do you take a good post natal vitamin? Are you drinking water? Do u go outside in sunlight? All of this can help the body for sure!
Lastly, i been watching Adhd organizations and declutter videos because being a mom can feel chaotic and overwhelming and sometimes all u have is quick doses of energy. So i been watching Adhd videos to help me. I really enjoy clutterbug yourube channel on how to organize and declutter your home in a way that works for how your brain is operatinthrou

Braxton hicks - uncomfortable!

Is anyone else like oh wow this is uncomfortable when you get Braxton hicks. Like I get them once every few days but when I do I’m like… wow! Imagine what contractions are like?! If this is a ‘warm up’. Anyone else? Haha.

Compression socks after c section

How long after C section did you take your compression socks off? I had a 10 day course of injections which I have now just completed an hour ago. Am I able to take the stockings off and leave them off now?

My midwives when discharging me from the hospital did not tell me anything about it and I can’t remember from my first as it was 3.5 years ago

Multiple c sections

I’ve had 2 emergency c sections. 1 in 2019 and 1 in 2023 and now that my daughter is almost 3 I’m thinking a lot about having a third but the only thing holding me back is the fear of a third c section. Can anyone who has had multiple c sections share your experience? Or has anyone had a successful VBAC after more than 1 c section?
