So frustrated lately

I feel like my frustration level has been so high lately at 5 months PP. I am feeling really frustrated with my partner over housework, free time, helping with the baby, making noise during feeding time, etc. I just got my first period which I'm guessing is making it worse or not helping. Im wondering if anyone else experienced this around 5 months or your first period and if it went away on its own?

Baby just turned 5 months on the 13th and i completely understand and can relate, sometimes i just take a step back and take a breather

Girl,same. The period is its own beast yes. And probably contributes more to your frustration. But I feel like it’s probably likely that you do need your partner a little bit more so maybe just some communication and a good old fashioned everything shower! Haha

I get frustrated a lot with my partner. It's hard not to because as moms we do so much. Even if I don't cook, clean, or do laundry one day, pumping is a part time job. I make sure to take as much time to myself as possible. And I'm extra cranky when my period comes.

Hey

Found out I’m expecting my 2nd baby exactly a week ago!! My daughter was born 2021 so feels like a while ago for me!

I haven’t really had any symptoms, boobs growing slightly, sometimes I feel sick.. sometimes I don’t. I feel like I need to keep testing every day to confirm I’m definitely pregnant! 😩

Booked an ‘early scan’ but it’s not until the 7th August! How do you guys keep your mind of the bad? And focus on the good.. I’m a nightmare!!

I also have events coming up with friends / family for birthdays where we will be ‘drinking’ / bottomless brunch but don’t want to tell them yet so no idea how I’m going to get through the next few weeks and go alcohol free without being noticed 😂

Moan over!!
Ps - congratulations everyone xxxx

Baby boy has arrived

Ladies my August baby came early I’m so blessed overwhelmed and exhausted but extremely happy. I had to get emergency c-section due to baby boy’s heart rate kept dropping but he came out and he’s perfect

Back to work…

I went back to work today after a week off, and honestly, I couldn’t care less about being there. All I could think about was my baby growing in my belly and how much sleep I’m missing out on while sitting in the office. I really hope I’m not the only one feeling like this.
