Any tips on positive thinking when you have a newborn and a toddler?! What gets you through the worst days and nights?
I have a few friends who have struggled to conceive - one who had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have one Fallopian tube removed and hasn’t managed to fall pregnant again. And another who had a major uterine rupture at 30+ weeks and nearly died. Her baby was stillborn. She can’t carry anymore children and is trying IVF but so far not successful.
I try to think of how much some people would love to be up in the night hugging their newborn when I’m at my lowest and am trying to summon the energy to get up AGAIN. I know that sounds quite morbid but it makes me realise how lucky I am even when I don’t feel it. And I just know these hard early days will be worth it..., eventually! My youngest was a bloody nightmare in the first few months and he’s been such a good boy for coming up on two years now (fantastic sleeper!)
Anyone else want to share their tips on positive thinking in the toughest moments?
