Do you have any family or friends that can help? If you have the energy you could organise a get together and they could help you do some of the baby things? A lot of people enjoy helping in that way, and it would be a good way of connecting with people and maybe even an excuse for a takeaway or something to give yourself some self care. All I can say is, its hard to do everything yourself so if you have people that will help use them and repay them back when you have the time and energy ❤️
You're doing amazing, I'm sure of it! Don't stress too much about getting everything ready before your LO arrives. We were in the same bought in the few weeks before birth and managed to pull things together the labour night and first month. Where are you based if you don't mind me asking, feel free to dm if u don't want to write here. Also happy to be an ear to listen if you wanted to just vent any time. For your pain they have these bands you can stick on for that pain on amazon. Hope that helps and reassures somewhat
You need to REST. None of that other stuff is important. Newborn babies don't care about a clean house. Someone else can set up the cot, the changing table can wait - you can change a baby on a towel on the floor. Rest rest rest. Let go xx
If it helps you feel better book a one off deep house clean. I’m going to treat myself to one. They’re not too pricey depends who you book and what you want them to do. If it helps I’m still decorating so crib is still in the box and nothing is ready. But it’s a second baby and I know they need very little to begin with so it’ll be alright!
Honestly you are doing the hardest job of them all, carrying your baby in your body. It is hard and incredibly tough on your body, be kind to yourself, rest up and ask for help. You having rest of what your baby needs right now, you need to be in the best condition and looking after yourself. If you have any family, see if any of them can help get stuff organised for you, or the little jobs you wanting doing. If my friends ask me I would do what I can to make them happy and stress free. You got this x
