I just can’t anymore

I gave birth June 8. Baby boy has been intubated now extubated now he’s getting a central line done the video I watched it looks like he’ll. He’s been poked so many times now he’s on a cpap machine. I’ve been waiting 4 hours and they’re still not done. I feel no point in anything anymore

TTC again and keeping healthy

Considering TTC again. Now 36 and with a small child I just don’t feel i can take care of myself in the same way. I’m also older of course than before. Any tips of how to keep healthy? Apart from exercise as I’m running around all the time I feel I’m just not as healthy.
