Why is it that women can automatically hear a baby crying at night and can get up to tend to it but…

It takes sometime women have those motherly instincts synced in since birth men don't

I had to ask the nurses to take my babies because with my son I was in so much pain (2nd degree tearing) and I physically could not get up to get my son without the pain making me want to pass out. And with my daughter, my husband went home at night to be with our son so I was alone and needed sleep from being up for 36 straight hours. No shame in asking them to take little one for an hour

Bc men sleep through anything lol

I feel like part of it is also because we’re so used to being up every so often during pregnancy from being uncomfortable while trying to sleep. I felt the same way the first few months. He’ll get used to it eventually and if after a while he doesn’t help you, definitely have a talk about it because Momma’s need rest too.

My SO and I had talked about a plan where he could help me out at night so I could get some rest too, but his mom was making comments about how he should get to sleep since he has work so he tried using that as an excuse to not help me at night which made me feel like I was insane, but I was so thankful when she started sleeping through the night at 3 months.

It’s hard being a new Momma, I hope you guys figure out what works for both of you so you can get some rest too

The hormones that flood our bodies at the end of the pregnancy and after delivery cause us to be lighter sleepers. Its so amazing how our minds and bodies change for our children.

My husband doesn’t hear anything. I just wake him up and ask for help when I need it
