Insomnia

Ev

Since I brought my babies home from the hospital 18 days ago, I’ve been struggling with sleep. I try to fall asleep but I get this overwhelming sense of dread over when the babies are going to wake up again. It keeps me awake until they actually start crying. The anxiety is starting to kill me and I’m not sure what to do about it because it’s bleeding over into my ability to bond with my babies. I take care of them because I know I have to, not because I want to. I love them I guess but I don’t feel that life-changing love that other moms talk about that makes it all “worth it”. This is just a chore to me and one that I know I can never escape from. I’m starting to worry that getting pregnant was a mistake. Any advice?
