Anyone else overwhelmed?
I’m a first time mom, baby is only a week old and I’m feeling extremely overwhelmed.
My husband is in the military and has just left for a trip and he will be gone for 4 weeks. I’m extremely emotional when normally I’m fine (we’ve been together a long time and he’s left multiple times before so I’m used to it) I think it’s just the fact we now have a newborn and I’m so upset he’s not here to help me out.
I had an emergency c-section and I’m still in pain and not cleared to do many activities such as picking up car seat, driving, lifting more than 15 lbs, etc. so basically i feel trapped in my house. I can’t even leave without having someone to come help me and drive me. I just feel like i have no idea what I’m doing and I’m so scared I’m going to do something wrong.
Our baby is fine and eats good, sleeps okay, and is perfectly healthy but i feel like anything can happen and i just wish i had someone here to help 😭
What can i do to feel better? Anyone else experience something like this
