Is it normal to not feel like yourself after having a child? It’s been 6 weeks already and I feel.. so different. I don’t feel like me anymore, my body has changed drastically, I look old and exhausted all the time. My life is constant chaos, it feels. My hair is always up and messy, I’m waring sports bras all day with pads so I don’t leak through. I don’t get to shower everyday and I use the restroom probably twice a day. I nearly eat some days. I hear a song on the radio when I do get out of the house and sometimes I feel old inside. I feel my life had forever changed and it has. I just feel so down about these changes.

Just needed to vent somewhere..

Totally normal. But if it gets worse ask your doctor for a therapist referral. It never hurts to have professional support. I didn't feel like myself until 1y pp or more! Give it time, make time for yourself when you can. Let people help w the baby, don't be afraid to dip out for an hour or 2. Ask for help. Nap when you can. Do small things that make you feel yourself again. Your fav show, paint your nails, do your makeup. It gets better!
