Sorry mommies I just need to rant to someone... I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and feel like a complete failure. My house is a mess and I feel like I am doing everything wrong with the baby. Hes been having tons of phlegm and hiccups and has been spitting up no matter what I do. Although this maybe normal since he is my first and I almost have no support I just feel awful and have been having little cry pity parties for myself. I knew it would be hard but I just feel like I am not doing anything right and it makes me sad. Anyone ever feel this way?

My fiance tries to be supportive but gets mad when I cry he is from a different culture and crying is a sign of weakness in his world so when I feel like this I feel really alone

I'm sorry you can't feel support from him. do you have any women close to you? you may even reach out to your doctor and ask for a family therapist. I loved mine she was great!
just know it gets so much better with your little one. the first month is the hardest. and by 3 months you'll be feeling much better about the baby. if you have specific questions about baby, dont be afraid to ask here

I know the feeling!!! My husband has had to learn also and it is not easy blending cultures of a multicultural family. Really sit down and talk to him! He has to meet you in the middle!!! You've got to learn to control your emotions when you can but he has to learn to let you have your moments. It has taken 14 years of knowing one another and almost 5 years of marriage for mine to take his first step in this subject. But open honest communication really makes a difference!!!

Yay!!! Happy to hear!!! Things stsrt d getting easier for me around the 4 month mark with my second born. My first born was not a normal experience due to medical needs so I don't want to use her as an example, but these moments really are short and will be behind you in the blink of an eye. It just doesn't feel like it when you in the battle. You've got this!!!

@rayray1682 Yes ma'am! Thank you!!! It took some time but she is great now. We all have individual struggles and that's ok! It's not the struggle but what we do with it that determines how good we are as mom's. 😉

Oh mama, I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I have felt that way myself. But especially being you don’t have any support please try not to worry about the cleaning or laundry or non sense like that, you’ll have time to catch up when you recoup a bit. Your mind & body has gone through A LOT & you’ve got to allow yourself some time. I know it makes you feel like a failure, I’ve felt that way too. But you’re far from it! You’ve got this babe💪🏽 just allow yourself to rest when the baby rests & the rest will come together. Do what you can when you feel you can handle it & forget the rest till the next day or till after a nap or whenever you feel you’ll be up to it.

I'm definitely trying but I think I underestimated just what an amazing yet taxing mommyhood can be. Like people tell you but until you are in it you cant imagine the emotional highs and lows

@rayray1682, it’s definitely overwhelming but you’re gonna be okay, I promise. The beginning is always the hardest especially because just how intimidating a newborn really can be. But it gets easier, you’ll slowly figure things out like good routines & getting more & more rest as the weeks go on. You may not get to sleep in uninterrupted for a little while, but there will come one day when you’ll sleep all night & things just fall into place. Just take things an hour at a time💜

Every mom, if honest, has gone through this. It's a stage we all hate and it will come and go for the rest of your life because you love your baby and want what is best for them. It's ok. It does get better. You'll find your groove and things will smooth out with time. Chin up mama. And congratulations!

@rayray1682 You're welcome! If I could give you a big hug I would, so I'm sending lots of love and hugs through with this message. Lean on God. He will get you through. Prayers for you to have the calm and comfort you need as you get through this very exhausting, but totally worth it moment. I miss my babies being tiny but I will admit I don't miss the weariness that came with it. Mine are 3 and 1. And yes, I had difficult days with my first born and it did get better! Hugs mama!!!

It’s hard girl. I remember crying the first month too. Just remember that you’re doing good. It’s scary to be a first time mom. I couldn’t sleep because I was scared something would happen to my baby. Don’t worry to much girl. You don’t have anyone who could help? Your mom, a friend or a family member? When your baby is sleeping try to relax. Sleep on the first nap and then clean when you have time. It’s like that at first. Don’t worry girl just know you’re trying your best and that’s all that matters. To this day I feel like I’m doing a bad job too but i try and that’s all that really matters You might fail but just know that for your baby you’re he’s everything. There ain’t no perfect mom out here

My fiance works a crazy shift so by the time he comes back it's in the middle of the night so hes not around as much. I guess I'm just being hard on myself

yes you'll feel that way until baby is a little older. but having no support can make it worse. reach out to anyone you can. don't underestimate what 1hr alone and a nice shower can do. or going to the cafe alone.
you need some time to just think and breathe.
