3.5 weeks postpartum should I be doing more?

This is so normal. Do everything at your own pace. I was still very much on the couch with my baby at 3-4 weeks PP with my first and my second baby.

I personally don’t go to baby groups I feel they’re a waste of money half the time and I was always far too exhausted with babies under 9 months.

You’re doing everything you should be doing! I did the exact same with my first 2, and will be doing the same with my third. You’re still healing and recovering, you should be spending your time bonding with baby❤️

That’s all you need to do in the early days haha, newborns generally want to eat and sleep around the clock so I would say walking and quiet days are the best.

Oh god 3 weeks pp is no time at all! It is complete survival for the first couple of months and should be guilt free as much or as little you can manage. I wouldn’t do baby classes whilst they are so little anyway, lots of germs especially this time of year! Enjoy just being able to sit! X

listen to your body. did you midwife explain the 10-10-10 rule to you? First 10 Days in Bed, next 10 on/around bed, final 10 near bed. and after that you should definitely SLOWLY introduce activities and movement. this is a season in life and bonding and healing should be the priority 🫶🏽

Your doing great mommy✨time at the time

I didn't start doing anything except take care of my baby until 6 months. I didn't feel like it so I didn't do it. Granted if I needed laundry done id wash it and then just let it sit in the basket. I didn't feel like myself for a long time so this is no time at all!

Contact naps, TV and sofa is my plan until about 4/5 months this time round with my second !! 3 weeks is nothing! Enjoy it x

3 weeks??? Girl please rest and sleep

Thank you everyone! You’ve made me feel a lot better about myself 💕

Omg you’re doing plenty.. you’re literally keeping a human alive!! Don’t be so hard on yourself. My daughter is 9 weeks and I’m still sitting on the couch watching tv everyday. I do a few chores around the house daily so the house doesn’t fall apart but that’s about it and we try to get out for a walk every other day. This is totally normal! I also felt this pressure early on seeing other moms out and about but then realized there will be plenty of time later on to do all the things.
