Am I terrible?
I’ve got 3 children including 6 week old.
I’ve been in hospital for over a week with various serious illnesses and due to those illnesses I’ve not been able to see the youngest but have seen the eldest a couple of times
I’ve now been told I’ll probably get to go home tomorrow. Now I should be over the moon shouldn’t I? Don’t get me wrong I miss my children. But part of me just feels really down. My family have rallied round in this time to make sure the house and children are looked after.
I think I’m just thinking great back to night feeds, back to laundry and cooking and the general monotony of it all
Back to me looking after everyone rather than everyone looking after me
Knowing I’ll never get a “break” like this again, or at least not for a long long time
Although I’ve been incredibly poorly, a terrible part of me feels like maybe it was even a bit exciting in a life which is currently so dull
Am I terrible 😓

Nope. It says something though that being in hospital was a ‘break’.
The first 4 days I was in agony and not really with it so the days were a blur. But the rest of it I’ve been mostly ok, I’ve had my own room with en suite, food has been decent, I’ve not had to cook/clean/do night feeds. The staff has been amazing, I’ve been reading a book, watching films, doing puzzles. So yeah I’ll be honest - it’s been a break! However they’ve now kept me in 2 days longer than expected and it’s been enough to tip me over the edge and be desperate to get home now 🤞🏼
Feel better soon x

Not terrible at all. One of the hardest jobs is being a Mum, and the fact being in hospital is a break for you shows how hard you work. Maybe see if family can still support to ease you back into home life? X
