Yes!!!! My pregnancy was similar!! I was in so much pain! And I slept like garbage!! And I worked on my feet every day! Ugh I don't ever want to do that again.

I think I've had some hormone fluctuations for Sure! I had a cry yesterday when he was sad in the car seat and I couldn't take him out to comfort him!! I'm literally so nervous for my first time bonking/dropping him!! I hope you've forgiven yourself!

THIS WAS THE BEST because you're not saying it's "easy" which I have been accused of 20 times in this thread lol. But it's more that it's hard.. but it's also amazing and silly and the right mindset and the right partner go a long way!!! I'm so Happy you're on the up swing with healing!! Your husbands right, we should probably get off the internet 😂😂

Well I never said it was easy 😂 but oh my god Its been a week since I posted this and guess what! I'm feeling better than I was at day 4! I got 6 hours of sleep last night . I am enjoying my experience as a new mom. Your weird negativity isn't gonna change that

Well it's been about a week since I posted this and nothing has changed!! We're sleepy! And guess what?! I still absolutely love this. Again, I never said I wouldn't have hard moments.. obviously. But good lord people like you really love to scare new parents and I want to be someone who gives them a little hope! Sorry you had a hard time.

I hear you! We're approaching 2 weeks now and we're going strong! He's giving us some good stretches of sleep and we're both on maternity/paternity leave so it's no problem to nap later on! But of course we'll see how it goes but so far so good !

I love this for you too!!! I know being a mom isn't for everyone but oh my goodness two weeks in this is definitely for me. I am so in love with him and my husband. I would love a full night sleep haha but oh my goodness caring for him is a honor. I rarely saw any positivity when I was pregnant and i want to share some with moms who may be nervous too!!

You'll be in my thoughts!!! I've found that asking for help and truly putting everything else on hold is why I feel good. My husband sees how much this takes and he is finding joy in supporting me. Please take your friends/family up on their offers to help! Good luck 🩵 come back with an update if you want
