@rrruff I don’t mean to rain on this parade but I was quite miserable at the end of my pregnancy as well - I had a short cervix, was constantly in pain, Braxton hicks absolutely crazy, insomnia as well, but it’s nothing compared to the first 3 months. I think it really depends on how much sleep matters to you. I need a lot of sleep and don’t do well with lack of sleep. The exhaustion is on another level after they were born. What really helped was having my MIL here to cook for us, keeping them on a schedule, and doing everything with my husband 50/50. Another thing that made postpartum really hard was the hormones. They fluctuate like crazy and I felt crazy. Wasn’t until 3 months that I started feeling more like myself. The first month I was always crying for no reason and my anxiety was through the roof.
I will say though it’s hard but you’ll learn to adapt, because you have to. And soon they will turn one, just like my babies, and you’ll wonder where the time has gone. You’ll do fine!
