I have anxiety and I think it’s cuz The hustle and bustle of the day is over and your mind finally has time to think

You’re probably right. I’ve never had it this bad before

Because we get such a small amount of sleep daily, our minds tend to work over time especially at night when our minds are used to being in REM sleep, anxiety over if the baby will sleep through another hour, if they’re safe where they sleep, our minds are unable to shut off completely and enter that REM sleep so it makes us on edge more and longer.
Totally normal and it’ll get better as we find a routine, with time.

Thank you so much! Makes sense! Everyone keeps saying it will get better. I find it hard to sleep. Even when my son is sleeping and someone else like my mom is watching him and I can hear him. Still can’t seem to sleep

I feel that. 💔 my mom watches my girl too and even though I recognize her cries it takes a lot out of me not to go take care of her.
I think it’s only natural for us to be protective and alert.
Make sure you are getting sleep momma. If anything try to find time when he is near you and cat nap.
I hate when people say it’ll get better or sleep when they sleep because it really isn’t that easy.
Just know you’re better when you’re rested and that baby is human and will instinctively find its way as time goes on. They’re so highly intelligent and it doesn’t take much.
Babies need us but not quit as much as we think, just to feed or comfort but the rest can be done by our moms.

thanks so much. You’re so right!!
