post partum

My girls 6 months old on Sunday, I’ve been exhausted since the day she was born 😂 but at the 2 week point even more so, your hormones are all over the place and things will be very up and down moodwise for a while but speak to your doctor if your concerned about how your feeling just in case

Yes i was exhausted until like probably 2 months it’s a change to your life and routine especially being a first time mum and having a baby has a massive toll on your body and hormones my sons now 3 months and he’s teething and not sleeping well and the exhaustion and sleep deprivation has returned with force x

LO is 10 months old and I’m still exhausted. I go back to work next week and have no idea how tired I’ll be with that and wrangling LO when I get home

it’s great this app for all us mums to connect with each other it’s been way harder than i thought it be and feel it’s taking away me trying to enjoy my baby daughter x

My first few months with my son were so difficult! (He’s 15 months now and it’s definitely gotten a lot easier) One thing that I’m really happy I did was take a lot of pictures! I find it hard to remember some moments as I was so stressed during those first few months. Looking back on the pictures I took definitely helps me feel better about those hard times! You got this girl❤️

I found the same, I knew it would be hard but not as hard as it was. The sleep deprivation is another level. Hang in there, get rest when you can and eat well, when those first smiles come along it will all be worth it and you will feel much better I promise. Feel free to inbox me if you ever need to chat, I completely understand as do many on here xx

I think I was exhausted until 6 months too. Then suddenly I was surprised at feeling a bit lighter. I don't know if it was because of having HG and servere vertigo my whole pregnancy, then vertigo again for 4 weeks pp, but we all heal at a different rate. Your body is adjusting to a new routine too, healing, and your hormones are having a party. If it's baby number 1, you're also learning new things everyday just like your LO is! You're going through a whole baby boot camp at the moment, I'd say it's normal, and you're doing great! When your health visitor comes, they often look for signs of PPD and ask questions, too :)!

I’m still exhausted now and she’s 11m granted it’s less exhausted now but the first 4 months were really hard with like 1-2h stretches of nap I can’t even call it sleep.
