Motherhood

Ask for help when you need. No parental support then tag team with your spouse to sleep and rest. Alternatively, get friends that are close with you and ask them if they could help you look after the baby for an hour or so, for you to catch up on some sleep or what. Raising a child takes a village and it's true. I hated my first year of PP as it was constantly covid lockdown but after which when things were better my family could visit and things were so much better. You are yourself before being a mum. If you are not in the right mental state then the baby will not be tended well.
