From people who came through it
“For whoever is where I was: I was right where you are about three years ago. No family nearby, every single day. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It's slow, but it does come back. x”
Grace from Sunshine Coast · been through new parenthood“To anyone just starting out: it's bloody hard. The crying, the weighing, the feeling like you've vanished. I won't say it's easy, but it does change. You'll find bits of yourself again, just slower than you'd like. Accept help when it's offered, even if it's just someone holding the baby while you shower. And if you're struggling, tell someone. I wish I had sooner.”
Pauline from Leicester · been through new parenthood“I was where you are this time last year. The worst part was a 6 week old who will not sleep. This week I went back to my evening class. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”
Tobias from Hanover · been through new parenthood“I remember being right in the middle of it, thinking there was no end. The broken sleep, feeling like a stranger to yourself. I've been there. What helped me was tiny things: a short walk with the pram, a hot drink while the baby slept (even if I didn't). And I asked for help, which wasn't easy. You're not on your own with this. Things do improve, just slowly. Try to be kind to yourself.”
