I have a 11 week old daughter who is my first and the single most beautiful thing in the world ( you probably think that about you're child but you are wrong!) even so there have been many times in the begining and sometimes still now that i worried i might kill her, or myself, OR MY PARTNER! I have read so many new and old post of women desperatly asking for help because of the sudden stress caused by a newborn, either first or second/third(or what ever) and while im sure there (i hope at least) there is an on going thread for this support that someone will link us to, i just need you to know that 'I HEAR YOU' and i hear your baby cry. i hear you as you desperatly try to pop to the shop; i hear you as attend your doctors apppintments and i hear you when all you want is a 5 minute shower. but most of all WE as mums hear you when you try to shop and we stare remembering how isolating it is to be the only one in tesco with a screaming baby, we remember how hard it is to find time to just do a poo! (with hemerrroids and anal fissures and c sections) We see you and we hear you and while we may stare; know we do not judge. we want to hug you and tell you it's tough but it gets better (though often not much) and we love you and your beautiful offspring. its hard being mummy but you're the single best fucking mummy there is!
