How are you spending your days?

Feel exactly the same! I have a 2 almost 3 year old, and a 3 week old. Also feel like I’m not doing much. My toddler is in nursery most days, I feel like my first maternity leave I was so much busier, but I think because I have 2 children now I’m much more exhausted on this one

I’m 3 weeks postpartum , with a 3 week old, FTM. I spend most days in my bedroom with little one. Mostly due to recovery as I’m still healing from forceps birth where I have a lot of inflammation, consequently I can’t go too far. We sometimes go on a walk to the shops if my partner is home.

Baby spends a fair amount of the day either feeding or sleeping. And when he isn’t I pop his playmat on the bed and encourage him to look/play etc.

I have to say I can’t wait to be better recovered and have my independence back to be able to go out for walks just me and baby. X

Remember the 4th trimester really does exist! ❤️ do whatever works for you & your family!

I have my 4y old at home 5 days out of 7 so I’m out most days or the PM will be chaos if he hasn’t burnt some energy but some days that’s 9am, some I don’t make it out until after lunch but you better believe if I had the option I’d well & truly be in bed 🥰

I’m almost 7 weeks pp but at 4w I was still recovering so days were very, very slow & I’d count keeping us fed & watered as the achievement of the day!

I’ve also got 2 under 2, our days are spent in the living room. If dad’s home and we need something we’ll go to the shop with him. I’ve been out with them both on my own twice to a supermarket and once out for a walk but it’s hard work x

Thanks everyone! Really interesting / reassuring. My eldest is in nursery but when he was a newborn I was a lot more structured in my days and productive however with my second I’m embracing rest as I know once she’s awake to the world more these sorts of ‘lazy’ days will be gone!
