First night out after baby

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and I already have my first night out booked, I’m due in Feb and baby is going for a sleepover at their nan’s in April due to me going to watch Hamilton! You’re a human, as well as a mum, and we all deserve time to ourselves without baby! Even if that’s just an hour or a night out!x

I gave birth in the August and my first ‘night out’ was in November. However I had dinners out and days away from baby since 6 weeks old x

When I was pregnant, I had big plans of having a good drink when baby arrived but I still haven’t had more than about 4 drinks consecutively and little man is approaching 5 months old. Everyone is different but honestly I have just not felt like it and couldn’t imagine looking after a baby with a hangover! I suppose it depends on you and your baby and when you feel ready. Some people will say a few weeks some will be like me and not feel upto it for months after. Listen to your body and whenever you feel up for it x

I had all good plans of having a night out when my baby was 8 weeks old but honestly I felt so crap when it came to it I was out for about an hour and then home. A mix of major tiredness and hormones still all over the place all I could think about was bed. Baby is nearly 5 months old now and things are slowly getting easier I can notice a change in myself I’m beginning to feel slightly more human again it takes time so just be easy on yourself and if you feel ok then go for it and enjoy the you time!

Before I had my baby I thought I’d still travel loads and stick to my lifestyle etc. becoming a mum changed me entirely and at 11 months I’ve only left him once for a 3 hour dinner. He’s breastfed doesn’t accept a bottle and sleeps terribly so between worrying about him and being exhausted I just haven’t felt like going out 😂 & tbh I love spending time with him. Everyone is so different though there’s no right or wrong and you won’t truly know how you’ll feel until baby is here x

3 or 4 weeks after baby me and my partner went for dinner and drinks and home by 9.30, then at 6 weeks my mum took baby overnight

I had a c section on Nov. 8th and our first night out was for new years. I don’t usually care for new years but last year it felt like the perfect excuse to drop the baby off with grandparents and get wasted.

I think it all depends on your baby. My baby refused bottles and will only nurse from me. And at night she cries and cries and cries if anyone else puts her to bed. So if I want to do anything I have to put her to sleep first and hope she doesn’t wake up. I’ve gone out without her a few times but never slept away from her and she is 14 months old
