Hello everyone, I’m booked in for my c section on Tuesday. I have so much to do and get ready and haven’t had a minute to myself. Everyone keeps coming round and I have a lot of appointments so I’m feeling overwhelmed. Is there anything I should have prepared and ready for when we return home to make our lives easier?
I keep feeling like I should have the urge to “nest” but I literally feel exhausted and once I’ve done all the daily housework chores and had all the constant visitors I am exhausted to do anything else and feeling like I’ll never achieve getting my list done. I keep crying as I haven’t had any time to even process that my dd will be here in a few days time and I just worry she won’t be okay as she’s measuring really little and isn’t growing so she’s coming out early. With all this and the constant visitors I’m feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and fed up already and feel like I will be exhausted before she even arrives. What things should I prioritise having ready before she’s here?
i have tried to do a deep clean of the house but it just gets trashed the evening of the day it’s done idk how it gets so messy. I’ feel I’m fighting a loosing battle and am fed up of it all. When visitors come round they never offer to help with anything they just make mess and I’ve kind of built a rod for my own back as I usually host people well but it’s now just exhausting.
my DP is at work so doesn’t have time to help do housework once home I feel like a full time maid already and he’s not helping keep on top of the housework he just comes home and messes everything up but he hates mess so it’s like I have to try to keep on top of it all or he stresses. I’ve not managed to meal prep anything due to the heat so I’ve only got a few frozen family meals in the freezer for after. He’s not got a single day off before she arrives to do anything to help me and is too tired when he gets home from work.
ive tried to organise the nursery and it looks like a bombs gone off every time I clean it people give more stuff which I am grateful for but it is exhausting keeping on top of it all.
I’ve set up the Moses basket, the cot is built and her clothes are washed and ready. What else should I prioritise doing? I have the rest of today and half of tomorrow without any appointments and plans to get things done.
Sorry for the rant thank you if you’ve read this far lol
