I have been asked: Have you been weepy?My answer is a resounding Yes.
We have a bundle of joy, no doubt. But afterbirth pains, lack of sleep, confinement rules, breastfeeding challenges, troubleshooting cries, fear, feelings of inadequacy, lack of personal time and privacy etc have made my tears flow easily these past few weeks.
I have also cried watching Bubbles cry. Especially when we can't figure out why she is crying or how to stop her from doing so.
The first month is definitely challenging, and nothing comforts me more than hearing from other mothers who have gone through it.
Thank you all - you know who you are - who have texted/emailed/dropped by with your words of advice and encouragement.

Take care babe *hugz*

My mum used to encourage me by saying "endure for 100 days and everything will be fine" and it did! Hang on dear!
My heart goes to you. Give yourself a few more weeks to get used to your new status and when you look back, you will find it all worthwhile.

Hey! I'll read about your experiences :)
just rem that when bb cry it's also their only way of communicating with us.and practice b.feeding by lying down. it's a whole lot easier so that bb can doze off to sleep. take care! :)

take care dear.. we're just a phone call away! it'll get better.. you'll learn and bubbles will learn too!
:) I think everyone goes through it. It can get a tad overwhelming, but things really do get better and more fun. :)
hey do take care of yourself.. try to take some time away from bubbles if you can, get ur mum or MIL to watch her while u go for a walk, haircut, massage.. it helps!
it will all get better, i think most of us felt the exact same way too...
