Finding it hard being a mum

I felt like this too, my daughter is nearly 2. The days and nights are hard but it becomes so rewarding I promise you, but you also have to get yourself out the rut, find anyone you trust to have her and go and do anything to treat yourself. Or even just go out with her for walks everyday, get your steps up for your mental health. single motherhood is hard, but it’s rewarding. I also found once I’d got into a routine with my girl life became so easy! Your still finding your feet as long as you and baby are cared for and safe it’s okay to miss your life a little bit, you’ve become a mum which means your no longer first priority to yourself but it also doesn’t mean you come last.

I still struggle some weeks, I get into a state of missing my past life. Missing not being nagged at or having to be on the ball 24/7 with no help, no time off but like I said it’s become rewarding! Watching them grow and actually if you find the patience they want to help and learn. It’s your first time living too x

Hi lovely. It’s totally normal to feel this. I’m 14 months PP and still somewhat struggle to look at myself or feel like myself. The old me is gone and I do grieve that sometimes. It’s also SO normal to miss parts of your old life and the freedom that came with it. Also most of these influencers or mums online, only post the bits they want you to see. They will also totally have days where they feel similar to you. Motherhood is SO tough, we love our babies but it doesn’t mean that we don’t miss aspects of our old lives etc. All you can do is wake up and try your best and every day that will look different. But as long as you’re trying ❤️ you’ve got this darling. 4 months your little one is most likely going through a sleep regression and will begin to fall into a better sleeping pattern soon. My little boy slept rubbish at 4 months, got much better by 6m got crap again a couple of months later, then got good again. It’s a cycle. But it eventually settles out ❤️
