In and out of lucidness post partum - is it normal?

I think this is just going to be life now 😩 there’s always going to be good days and bad days and it’s all okay and part of life 🫶🏼 just remember you are doing amazing especially on the bad days
Yup. I find in particular Thursdays are hard days, they seem to be the one where I feel the most exhausted physically and mentally. My husband works compressed hours Mon-Thurs and leaves early (as in, it’s currently like 5.30 and he’s already away to work for the day!) so by Thursday afternoon, I find I really feel the physical exhaustion when I’m carrying our LO around, and if he’s fussy then I’m very quickly mentally drained with it all. Not sure how much of that is also psychological, in that husband has been doing some overtime on Fridays recently, but I never feel the same then - but I know he’ll finish earlier on a Friday so maybe that’s it.
Yup! 14 weeks now and some days I feel like I’m on top of everything, I k ow what I’m doing, she’s sleeping through the night ect… then all of a sudden she won’t sleep, won’t nap, cries and the days just a blur! They’re changing and growing so fast by the time you get into a routine something changed with them and you have to start again!
Exactly same here, 12/13 weeks pp, third baby and I've felt this every time in the beginning, think it's mainly the sleep deprivation, if the night is half decent I can cope with the days but if not it effects me physically and mentally, plus the nights are so unpredictable, prefer it when there's some kind of structure xx
Yeah feel same here, almost at 7 weeks… i was hoping it gets better after after 3 months hehe I guess we just have to hang on! Xx
