Hi ladies.
I need to vent. I need someone to talk to.
I'm a FTM. My baby is 3 weeks old.
I'm totally embarrassed and ashamed that I am writing this.
Iv wanted this baby a long long time. It's been a massive struggle and iv finally got her.
I absolutely adore her to bits.
However I am really struggling. I'm getting very little support from my partner. He works full time & I understand he needs to sleep.
However I'm absolutely drained myself. I almost feel working full time is a peace of cake compared to having a newborn. I'm doing everything. Every feed day and night. Cooking, cleaning, and office work for his business.
My baby can be quite hard work especially evenings and night. Tonight she's been up since 9pm and still hasn't gone down 1.30am ... she feeds every 2/3 hours.
Im in floods of tears and literally feel I hate my life. Iv no time to myself at all. I'm so scared of talking to anyone as I absolutely adore this baby don't get me wrong! And I'm scared they will judge me on having my baby and take her away.
I'm super scared I'm getting PND. I'm just a very tired mumma who needs some help and support & I don't no what to do 😭
Instead of my partner taking the weekend as family time he's now decided he's working. we have had a massive argument tonight Iv basically said I'm bringing this baby up single handed so I actually don't see the point in this relationship. 🤷🏼♀️. Maybe I'm just being a hormonal cow!
