Surviving

When did it stop feeling like you were just surviving? I'm almost at the end of 8 weeks, and things are getting better, but I definitely still feel like I'm in the trenches.

Oh I relate to that feeling! There's still an element of that now at 14 weeks, but now that she has a personality and is more interactive, that feeling is improving as I'm enjoying her more. I'm pretty sure it just keeps getting better from here; at least that's what I'm telling myself 😅🤣

(...a developing personality, I should say 🤣)

It will get better but I remember that stage and sometimes still feel like that.

I'm at week 17 and I am finding things are becoming less trenches like. But there's always something (jabs=temperature, snotty baby with her cold! Sleep regression.) definitely getting better though x

Things will get easier week by week. You’re still in the trenches tbh but I promise it will get better. 8 weeks is still really early, but trust me you got this!!! Once u get into a wee routine u will feel better. This time next month u will start to notice wee differences and it will just get easier and easier. Ur a great mum and u got this ❤️❤️❤️

I completely know and understand this feeling too well, I font want to bring any negativity to you, I'm just speak how it is for me, my baby is almost 2 years old, and it's just getting worse and worse, I'm just serving really, and not even that I don't want anymore, I have no one, maybe that's why is worse for me, but I have to be on automatic pilot for her, because I'm all she has, anyways.. don't mind me I'm sure you're in a different situation, so just enjoy it, it will get better, once you have some type of routine for you and baby, things will feel better, you'll see 😊

For me , a good year

It never really goes it just gets better, what I would say is I wish I enjoyed the new born stage more than what I did ( I miss it now) so seems easier said that done but please try to “enjoy” as much as possible because I miss it. Hope you’re okay xxx

I’m surviving definitely, low mood and sleep deprivation, feeling trapped at home, stressed etc with 5 week old, yet I do feel so much love for him

I think it definitely gets better at 3 months xx

It gets better long just hang in there 🤍 you’re strong. Remember if you have the possibility take moments for yourself so you don’t lose yourself in the process. This makes it so much easier. And if you don’t have help try incorporating your little one to walks outside so you can refresh.

Things got easier for me when my son was 3 months old, sometimes it still feels like surviving but not as bad anymore
