need some encouragement please

You got this!!! I had horrible PPD with my son. Whenever I was home alone (which was a lot because hubby was deployed for 7 months) I always put my favorite show on in the background. It really helped with feeling alone.

Also FaceTiming someone helped me a lot. Sometimes I would just set my phone or iPad up in the room and had them do the same thing and even though we didn’t talk it was nice to look over and see someone there. Kind of like they were in the room.

You got this!!! Repeat it to your hearts consent!!! YOU GOT THIS!!! You’re a mother, first child or not, you got this! You know what to do, we’re always learning but we just know things. We were made that way, intuition! It’s going be lonely without SO and especially since no family support but you know what you’re doing. Put all that anxiety and stress and turn it around to do what you know best, following your intuition and being there for baby. It’s hard to be “alone” but you’re not alone!!! We got you here and your SO has the other half even if he’s working. Cry, let it out, listen to some music, let it out and regain your confidence because it’s there, you just have to find it :) good luck ?

Thank you ladies

You're going to do great momma. Turn on some tunes, relax, and know that you CAN handle this. Think about how much worse it could be- and find strength in that. Think about people with out a home or in 3rd world countries. If they can get though then so can you!!!

Don’t stress! Think positively. Just think: you already have the inside scoop because you already went through this with your first! You got this!

I'm trying my best..I just don't feel as strong anymore.

I'm home alone day-night with my two kids so i understand how you feel. Music helps a lot. Keeping all the lights on helps and having the tv on for background noise helps. It's lonely and it's not a good feeling but we do what we gotta do
