Hello mommies, 1 month and 10 days postpartum na ako, and first time mom po ako.
normal birth delivery po and recovery stage so far is great. yung postpartum bleeding (Lochia) ended after 3 weeks. hindi na sore and healed na yung episiotomy wound ko.
yes normal po yung sleepless nights and all that pero...
after 2 weeks po, I get this worry feeling like "what if hindi na humihinga si baby once nakatulog ako." and super overwhelmed ako with my emotions. And chinicheck ko pag hinga niya like hahawakan ko dibdib niya to check every time matutulog si baby.
kaya every night I don't tend to sleep talaga. not sure if ayoko talaga magsleep or just I want to sleep but I can't (mixed emotions really!)
once nakatulog ako, I couldn't get up to breastfeed my baby, and once I do feed her, I am usually half awake and half asleep. tapos hindi consistent food intake ko. I still continue taking prenatal vitamins ko. exclusive breastfeed po si baby. postpartumanxiety
These days I feel like the symptoms got worse with the anxiety. every night I couldn't sleep and usually I eat unhealthy stuff at night like Coffee at 2AM tapos ewan ko kung nag hallucinate ako pero I always see stuff, or i Imagine figures talaga. maybe its just my mind hays. basta I couldn't sleep at all. i rarely get naps during day time.
share your experience and how you cope with it. 😣
