Anyone starting to feel fed up?

I am in need of a break from this 24/7 mum role. The screaming, crying, constant picking up, constantttt cleaning, washing up, cooking, picking up mess, to-do lists, everyday supermarket runs, admin, energy into trying to get baby to sleep, trying to get him to eat , waste of food, breast feeding, sterilising, mum rage, mental load feel like I just a huge bloody break from all of it !

Yea I've been feeling this a lot lately, its gotten super hard all of a sudden 😞

Yep! Totally get it.
Also trying to get partner to reliably pick up some of the tasks & mental load ….proving somewhat difficult 😩 / more work?! 😅

Do you also find some weeks are harder than others? I guess it is a lot around baby but maybe also how I feel in myself/ hormones.

I also got made redundant so now worried this will just become my life. But also worried about how I’ll/we’ll cope when I do get a job. It’s like how do I get a job when I’m full time looking after baby? Massive disadvantage straight away.

I had enough months ago- the reality is these early years are exceptionally difficult. Our babies 👶 are rapidly developing and teething it really is hard going.

Things will be pretty much like this for a long time. Hang in there nothing lasts forever. X

C section - calm me down

I most likely have to have a c section in a few weeks and I have never felt so nervous in all my life. I struggle sleeping at night and it's all I think about during the day as I am a very anxious person.

I haven't been able to speak to a consultant yet. I wondered if anyone has any words of advice or even words of advice from a consultant they spoke to?

5 Weeks Pregnant: Is Dull Lower Abdominal Aching Normal?

Hi ladies! ❤️

I’m currently 5 weeks and a few days pregnant, and my first ultrasound isn’t scheduled until November 17, when I’ll be around 9 weeks.

Lately, I’ve been experiencing a dull ache in the middle and sometimes on the sides of my lower abdomen, almost like mild period cramps. I’m just wondering if anyone else experienced something similar this early in pregnancy.

Is this a common symptom? And did anyone else have to wait until 9 weeks for their first scan? I’m worried

Would love to hear your experiences! 💕
