We have no family close, dh works v long hours and we will have a new baby in the autumn. I am a full-time sahm with a lively two year old who has dropped all naps. I'm already at the end of my tether with tiredness - thankfully many people say it's easier with a newborn than with a big pregnant belly - i hope so. We're going to get some sort of help for the first couple of months - ideally something like a couple of hours a day to help with day to day household stuff and/or the baby and the toddler - maybe allow me to grab a lie down (i.e. ideally a surrogate granny) - not sure if I should be trying for a postnatal doula, mother's help or what. Any advice? What did you do or wish you had done? TIA
