I feel the exact same way! You are not alone. As much as I text friends during the day, or go out for a walk, I literally clean every day when baby naps, to the point I start cleaning from when I’m up and he’s gone to work! I think I’m just doing it excessively because it gives me something to do, plus baby is a Velcro baby 😩💕! It’s very scary being alone, I find the days are happier when I’m around a good friend, whether they come over, or I go to their house, go out to eat etc.. but some days it’s very overwhelming. I love being a mother, I just need to get more used to changes and not be so harsh on myself, and neither should you! even if it means I’m not going to work right now, I’m still looking after a little boy who needs me! 🙏🏼
Felt exactly the same as a FTM but as time went on have gotten better although have the odd days on and off still. Hope you feel better soon hun 💕
@Helena same! Can't stay still Never rested after my C SECTION always walked or literally try to find anything to do I hate TV ... so don't know what else to do. My days are samy these days
Glad it's something normal. I get this crazy anxity. I even struggle to sleep knowing my husband will leave me early the next day . Ita crazy. My brain ruling me .its rather scary
Wondering the same, the breastfeeding got me down to my pre pregnancy weight, but my stomach is soft, and my belly button is still big and cave in, basically look like a raisin
3 months pp and ftm and i am still experiencing that feeling everyday. Some days are harder than others but also a slight resentment of how easy it is for my husband to have the ability to just get up and leave the house to go to work.
@Linda how long has ur partner taken off work ?
I totally felt like this too. Especially since this is my first kid, it's all so new. It almost feels crazy that we are allowed to look after a new human being all alone. Plus it's hard! So if course it's scary. Planning for people to come over helped me the most. Even when my friend just sat on the couch to watch a show with me then left, it felt a lot less scary. I don't think humans were ever meant to care for children alone.
