Feeling like a bad Mum
Show your support
I agree with Abbie, but if it mashes you feel better, buy some black and white toys/cards for baby to look at during wake moments! X x
Your only 2 weeks pp you’ve got plenty of time to do the ‘nice bits’, just appreciate being in the moment with your new baby and enjoy the skin to skin and those feeding times. I’m 4 weeks pp and I had a c section as well and all the changes hit me quite hard and I got down quite a lot with not being able to do much but one thing I told myself is I can’t look after my baby the way I want to unless I’m looking after myself and making sure I’m recovering, so at the moment don’t worry about the walks and things, make sure you recover because you don’t want to do too much and then you have to take longer to recover because you’ve pulled yourself or something
Hey. I’m five weeks post c section and I’m only just starting to do those things. Trust me your love is enough right now!! You are doing the best you can xxx
Thank you all this has really helped to know I’m not alone/doing okay. Mum guilt already has kicked in haha! I’ve got some contrast cards so I’ll try to squeeze those is during the day
I'm feeling completely fine and I am also not really doing a tonne of nice walks or cards yet. Don't sweat girly. He can't even see yet. Mind him as you can and mind yourself. You are far off doing badly. Be kind to yourself and don't fucking worry about what the rest of us are up to.
There is absolutely no need to feel bad. You are only 2 weeks pp , all you need to be doing is surviving!! And bonding with your baby through feeding and all the cuddles. Honestly enjoy these slow days and take away any of the guilt! Us mums are so hard on ourselves. Your baby does not need anything other than being fed, loved and feeling safe, sounds like you are doing great 😊
