Regrets

Yes I feel this way so much! I wish I would have held and cuddled my Son more. He definitely prefers my husband now who held him more. He is 4 now. It eats me up each day😥
Not particularly…there are never enough cuddles, but I try not to dwell on that.
100% me. A year on and still have massive regrets...it eats me alive sometimes 🤦♀️ all I can say is you live & you learn and for me next time round I'm going to make sure the same mistakes aren't made 🙂
I had post natal depression and anxiety and didn’t want to know my son in the first two months, I wanted to get out. All hormonal I know. Now I am better and recently keep thinking back to them days and I am filled with guilt. But remember they won’t remember and just enjoy it now. You got through the hardest part mumma.
@Emily I am there with you! I'm often on the countdown to 5.30pm for my partner to get home and take over. Those first few weeks are hard, you are doing amazing! Enjoy hiding from the world and cuddles! My 10 month now is on the move and I miss the days of chilling on the sofa with him!
No regrets with my newborn but I have pregnancy regrets. I hated every minute of it, threw up for the whole 9 months even during labour (HG) and feel like I didn’t bond with baby. I look back at photos my partner took and just feel so sad for me & my little girl. I wish I took more photos, enjoyed the moments and didn’t feel so depressed. But like Jessica said you live & learn🥺. We shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves tho, we’re navigating the journeys the best way we know how!🙏🏽🤍 have compassion for yourself x
@Lui I do have pregnancy regrets as well. I was too lazy to work out. I’m 1 year postpartum and it still shows. Despite trying to get back in my gym routine. 🤦♀️
This is 100% me atm. I regret even though its what I've wanted. I could easily give her away to family or good friends. It's still something I'm working on. I'm envious of my partner as he's back at work now and he gets to get away from her and get a break and I'm stuck at home unable to go anywhere unless someone comes and gets me (car share and I'm not loud to drive yet due to section). I'm itching to get back to work and I'm on 3 wks pp 🙃
