Sometimes not wanting to be a mum …

Take a break from routine, may be do something just for yourself for some minutes everyday. A small walk can be helpful too. Hope it helps.
I agree with Mel, I think it's normal sometimes to feel like that if you are overwhelmed or just need some individual time. Maybe it will help to not feel like that to try to get some time for you to do something that you need or you like, or just stay calm taking care of you and not the others. Now you prioritize another person, your child, but you have been prioritizing you all your life before, and you notice that loss of individual identity. Life is a constant change, we need to readapt to the actual circumstances but be comprehensive with you, you are learning to be a mum. If you could maybe you could express that with someone in your inner circle, like a mum, sister or friend, that could help you to have this time for you? Take care
Pretty normal. I attended counselling around this topic only to find out most people mourn the loss of who they were. It doesn't mean you don't love who you have become it's just you miss you before which is totally normal. I had to do something's for me that were selfish. Going out on my own etc. Stayed in a hotel walking distance of my house simply so I can go and have a bath, read a book and fall asleep on my own. Self love is important
I think that's totally normal, it's hard being a mum and doing everything for everyone and you just feel touched out and want some time alone to just be you and not think of anyone else's needs. Doesn't mean you don't want your family.
