Is it just me that feels this?

I totally get this its like one u have a baby your feelings yiur thought ans so on no longer matter if your ill it dint matter u still got to do everything with a smile on ya face if your sad u can't show it it's like u lose every bit of identity if your not OK u have to pretend u are its like once your a mother your not u

Understandably, the child is important, but as primary carers of the babies, we need to be okay… and we run off of empty, if we’re ill, who takes care of us ? We do. Having a bad day ? No not allowed, and we’re not allowed to be sad or not okay , just get told ‘why are you sad, you’ve got your baby? Nothing to be sad about’ So unfair 💔

It's so true and it's so not fair 😭 the amount of times iv have been having a bad day feeling so down and like I recognise myself yet I have to act all is okay like on the 29th November ots was my little boys anniversary and I was so down yet I had to hide it act fine take care of my daughter cook clean then when everyone in red i find myself sat crying quietly people don't realise what us mothers go threw daily lately I feel I'm stuck in survival mode

Oh bless you , so sorry 😓😓 it’s awful isn’t it Her dad was ill the other day so onbiaoiky I care for him, let him rest, go pharmacy for him . But I’m really ill today, still doing everything, no help, just told… part of being a mom and my choice? And ‘is the baby okay tho?’ Do I get to rest ? Nope 😪

It's ridiculous I find myself doing everything for everyone else putting everyone else first but who is there for me no one I'm the first one awake the last one to sleep I'm the last one to eat everything think people forget we are still human we ain't a robot

Sounds similar, but when do we get the time to rest or just get a bit of me time ? So burnt out and worn out

I totally get that i don't know what me time is tbh like now it's almost 1 am my little one had me up every hour last night nd she is doing the same now it's nearly 1 am and iv been trying to get her bk to sleep since 11

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Whenever someone invalidates that you are not okay, remind them of this.

The most heartbreaking thing is when the people you love rush towards baby and don't even really acknowledge you for like 10 mins. Obviously it's amazing at the same time seeing people you love, loving the lil human you created and bonding but it's also a little like "hello? I still exist and maybe need a little adult interaction and i thought maybe you wanted to see me but i guess you just wanted to cuddle the baby 🙃"

i completely get this .. i miss being pregnant because of this felt so looked after during my pregnancy, everyone always checking in to make sure i was ok . felt the healthiest iv ever felt . now i just feel like people don’t really care and one of the hardest things iv found about becoming a mother is even when your not feeling great (whether that’s mentally or physically) you’ve just got to get up and get on with it no matter how your feeling
