i feel scared, lost and emotional

[confuzed90]

I had my 2nd DS on saturday, so 3 days ago, all through pregnancy my DP had planned to take a week off work for me, but as holiday pay as paternity wasn't offering enough.well this week at work there if overtime available, night shifts, 6 till 6. He heas decided to go as we do need the extra money for wedding in july.

He has just left and I feel extremely sad and scared. I am scared that I won't be able to cope with DS1 (3 years old) and DS2. I fear that something will go terribly wrong, DS2 wakes up all through out the night, literally every hour, then has to be fed and so on.I feel like I can't cope. I can't stop crying :( he knows I'm not ready, I am still sore.can't pick up DS1, just feel so scared.please tell me itl be ok. Night shifts are the worse anyway never mind being 12 hours! He'll be in bed all day (says he will have one hour sleep- but I cnt let that be, he is an electrician, the job can be dangerous) so sleep all day work all night

Can he not have a re-think? There are more important things than money, if you need him you need him.

Failing that is there a friend or relative who could came and stay with you, though frankly it's not the same and should really be your dp.

It'll be ok.
How many shifts is he doing? Can he just commit to 1 to see how you get on, and then decide between you if he should take on any more? Any family close by who could help - either through the night or by taking 3yo for a few hours during the day?
It'll be ok x
