I have just had my second child (3 weeks) just wondering how long it takes to feel back to normal, its a shame you spend some of your maternity leave just trying to get from day to day. Mood has def improved since the first week but just want to feel back to normal. I know it's early days but just wanted to chat :)
Hey, congratulations on your safe arrival of the little one.
I found your post searching netmums for the same answer! Just so many changes from feeling physically different, to emotionally different it is just so much to take in and adjust to.
My LO is 8 weeks now and still don’t feel normal in any sense! Each day you get through try to identify a little achievement you are proud of - from getting a wash load done to replying to texts; just be kind to yourself.
I wish someone could give an actual date because that gives you something to aim for, but I guess feeling normal again is just something that will creep up on you and each day you are getting a step closer! xx
