Will I ever do anything just me again
I am a new first time mum who’s breast feeding, my husbands life hasn’t changed much (he is very helpful and supportive) but still can go out if he wants to, pop places etc. I am struggling to do things I usually would without my baby like go get my nails done (sounds silly) will I ever get time for myself ever again?

Thats what it feels like in the beginning, but after a little while baby will take longer breaks between feeds then they'll reach 4-6 month mark and start eating solids which will lengthen the time between feeds more :) before you know it you'll be missing the short breaks between feeds. I know I did with my daughter
Yes you will, my best advice, have someone come with you and be either outside the salon with baby or just nearby so if baby needs feeding you are not far away. Then you can still have your nails done etc.
There is also the option of mobile nail artists who could come to you instead.
Have you tried pumping? This could be something you can look into to give you time completely to yourself. All just ideas.
You've got this! I breastfed for 2 years best years of my life, but some of the most challenging too. Xx
