Am I overreacting

Just a bit of background firstly.

Moved into a new house 3 years ago, it was very stressful for me to move out of my family home and took me along time to adjust to it. 3 months later covid came about which also was stressful for everyone. I really wanted a baby and after approx 9 months of trying u finally got pregnant, I was overjoyed, 9 weeks in and I had a miscarriage, 2 months later I was pregnant, it was stressful enough cus I had been bleeding a bit and pains and shoulder pain, thought maybe I was ectopic but thankfully wasn't, iv a happy healthy baby 10 months old now born by c section.

I find life stressful and I'm not looking excuses as lots of people have been through this, having a new baby after a c section was hard recovering from surgery, my partner took 2 weeks off work after the birth, but ever since then apart from weekends when he is off work I feel like iv never had a break, we had a dog in our house and I feel like it puts people off wanting to visit me as they see how stressed I get when he constantly barks when people come to the house even when I put him outside, so people don't call with me much.

I think I'm just looking a bit of sympathy to be honest and does anyone else feel the same

Being a new Mum is tough and can be isolating. Nothing prepares you for it and I don't think people fully consider or understand it until you are in the thick of it.

Have you taken steps to try and form a bit of a routine during the week? Trying baby classes etc? That may help you to meet new people.

Is baby bottle fed? If so, maybe you could have a couple of hours out of the house at the weekend whilst your partner is at home.
