Feeling the pressure of being a mum

[mumofbabyboy]

in the last couple of days i keep getting feelings that i can’t do this anymore. not all the time but at periods in the day. my son is soon to be 8 months and he’s becoming a little person and going through phases - cries when i try to get him dressed, taking him out the bath. just little things that used to not affect me at all and i’ve woken up this morning and just felt so low and that i just need some time away from him and now i feel terrible as it’s not him. it’s me! i’m also pregnant with my next one. i’m about 6 weeks now so i feel very sluggish. i know these feelings will go away i just needed to get it out and hope that i’m not the only one that sometimes feels like this

You are definitely not the only one and you have a lot going on. Could you tell your DH how you feel and ask him to take LO to the park or swimming so you get a couple of hours to yourself?

Your hormones will still be adjusting from birth and now will be all over the place with pregnancy.

Poor you op. Those early pregnancy days are enough to wipe you out even without a baby to look after.
My advice is accept that it’s hard, get all the support you need, get your partner to do as much as he can, put your feet up and rest as much as you can.
It will get better!
