My daughter is 5 months old and I love her to absolute bits, I wouldn’t change my life for anything but while l was going back through my old photos I suddenly starting missing my old life so much.

I miss having perfect long nails and coordinating my nail polish to my outfits, I miss experimenting with hairstyles because anything other than a bun ends up in my daughter’s fist. I miss spending hours doing my makeup before going out and I miss going out!

I’ve had to go back to work early too so I feel like my life is an endless cycle of waking up, going to work, coming home, looking after baby, going to sleep and repeating. I don’t get to go out because I’m looking after her but also because I’m away at work all day, I don’t want to leave her any longer to go out.

I actually love my job (I’m a graphic designer and photographer) and I love my family but still for some reason, I just want a break from my life and I feel so guilty because I know loads of women who have or are still struggling to get pregnant and would trade lives with me in a heartbeat.

Did anyone else ever feel like this?
