How do i balance my time as a new mother?

Hi, i've recently become a mum, and i'm really really really struggling to juggle everything. I love my family so much, but sometimes it's really so tough and i just want to walk out. Does anyone have any tips to help? I can't seem to find time to juggle my work, son, husband and myself. I'm someone who needs space to recover but i don't think that this is feasible considering how everyone and everything is screaming for my attention.

To be honest this is why I don't want kids. I suppose you can say I'm selfish because I do enjoy having my time as my own.

Go google for motherhood forum look for the EDD of your son (by right this is usually created before the EDD kid is out), usually you will find find a local whatsapp group with like Feb 2020 Mothers.

These are all mothers who are giving birth in Feb 2020 (estimated)

so all the mothers will face the same thing and grow and learn together.

My wife learnt a lot on our first child a few years ago and joined another group for next year too for our 2nd child. She benefited a lot from sharing her gripes, learning from others, sharing of promotional deals (all the diapers, milk bottles, etc) and love these experience

it helps my wife a lot... which helped me a lot. lol

hope that benefits you!

Hi, fellow new mum here. Ever since my son was born - in fact ever since he was conceived - my life has never been the same. I also find it tough to juggle all the aspects of life, but every moment I spend with each of my loved ones is precious.

Try to see if u can get some help to care for ur child while u get some alone time, couple time etc. Could any of ur parents or relatives help? Don't try to shoulder everything yourself, it takes a village!

All the best.

Hey fellow momma! I feel you, what you described sounds like me earlier this year too! What worked for me eventually was getting help, so I activated my in-laws and we hired a helper to help too. My post-natal blues finally disappeared after that. Before my helper arrived, I was really going crazy doing almost everything myself! Please do not hesitate to get help whether from a helper, your husband, parents, in-laws, siblings, or even friends. It is okay to feel overwhelmed, big hugs. Stay strong momma!

Dear new mum

I have 2 sons. Life will never be the same after you have child. Please change your de...
