please tell me it gets better

[miserablemandy]

FTM to an 9 month old who I love to death but I regret having a baby. Doing it alone and I can’t believe I thought it could work.I let the hormones cloud my judgement. Whenever things go well suddenly they’re crap again. Another sleep regression, the constant lack of sleep, the constant whinging and crying. Can’t get things done while baby is napping because she constantly wakes up due to teething. Can’t get a good night’s sleep because same thing. I’m tired im miserable and sad my patience is wearing thin and she deserves better a better mum who can handle it all she’s just a baby it’s not her fault. I don’t think that’s me. I don’t know how much more I can take.

Does it get better? I need hope to hang onto

Of course it gets better. They start to sleep better, start to be more interesting, playing, talking, and before you know it you can put her in nursery. Better for you, and much better for her! Hang on in there. It won't be long now...

Yes absolutely will get so much better. Don't worry. But do you have anyone who could give you a break? Your parents perhaps?

You are really in the trenches now. That first year is so hard even when not doing it alone. Your just about to reach that time of them starting to sleep through, them becoming so much more interactive and fun, and getting some of your independence back.

Exactly this.

it does get better!
