Feeling stressed and worried about how life will change
I’m almost 38 weeks pregnant. I’ve been feeling a lot of support from my loved ones, except my sister who I haven’t talked to in over a month over a dumb argument. I’m on the right track in life. Just feeling the financial strains a bit since I stopped working. Just hoping for the EDD money to hit by the end of the month and I’ll be okay
But I’ve been worried about how life will be when my baby is born and gets here, plus managing myself and relationships. Just feeling a bit emotional and down today. I always feel like I run out of time in the day, and it’s been a struggle I’ve had forever.

Hi mama! This is just my experience so take it with a grain of salt because everyone experiences pp differently. The newborn stage is honestly all about survival. You're going to be insanely tired, like a whole new level of tired that you've never experienced before. You're going to be up every 2-3 hours at minimum for feeds, whether you are breastfeeding/pumping/formula feeding. Sometimes all you want is to sleep and all that baby wants is to be held. You're going to be atleast slightly physically uncomfortable due to your own recovery. Yet you're going to put all of your own needs second because babys needs come first. HOWEVER! It is the most amazing thing you will ever experience, the amount of love negates all of the pain and sleeplessness. It will eventually get easier (I'm only 10 days pp and still eagerly awaiting that day but it'll show up eventually). The biggest factor for my partner and I has just been honest and open communication about our own needs and trying to balance all of the chaos.
