Mixed emotion

FTM here, currently in 3rd trimester. And for some reason i feel sad that ill be delivering my baby soon. I mean i am very happy that ill be delivering my little baby soon, very grateful, cannot wait for his arrival and pamper with love and care. however my alone time with my husband is coming to an end, just the two of us ☹️ nothing to worry about, can rest all we want without worrying about anything, can go anywhere we want etc Idk how our parenthood journey will be like in the first few months but i feel like we’re gonna argue alot and always tired for each other and wont make time for our alone time. Cause everything will focus on baby. And im scared itll grow us apart. Not included my rollercoaster hormone and emotion, and not included the mouth and words of others telling me i should do this i shouldnt do this etc 🫠 #FTM

Hi mama, it’s totally normal to feel this way. What I can advise is, try not to take everything on yourself at once. Do it one step at a time, don’t worry about things that are yet to happen. First few months while trying to get used to another human being’s presence, lack of sleep and understanding your baby is gonna be hard but trust me mama, it’s all gonna get better after you got used to it. The hardest thing about the first few months is actually not baby, but fighting sleep due to constant pumping for me (3 hourly). Just remember, if breastfeeding is taking a toll on you, it’s totally okay to formula feed. Don’t let anyone put you down just because you don’t give baby bm. Get all the help you need, go for alone time with hubby if you want (except that you’ll probably miss baby when you’re out! 😂). Arguments are unavoidable because everyone’s handling is different so communication and tone is important. Voice out, don’t keep it in so your husband can understand. Most guys works on a “tell me and I’ll do it” switch, if you don’t tell them, they will “I don’t know” and that’s where another argument will come up. You’ve got this! 💪🏻💪🏻😊 PS: Looking at your baby makes all the stress and worries go away saying is BS when you’re so sleep deprived 🤓.
