I'm 40+1 with dc3 today. Have two beautiful little girls (3.3m & 20m)
They haven't been sleeping well. And I certainly haven't. Multiple wakings plus waking at 5/6. And noticeable recent behaviour has changed. Usually so happy.( probably from sensing my hormones and snappiness)
Then I have mummy guilt for feeling this way. I look at their dear little faces and wonder why I keep crying. I keep having a go at my partner, which isn't fair. I just feel like I'm a failure. Most days I'm my happy self. But it's this past week, and it hits me every time it all gets too much that I feel so low. And guilt follows.
