Yeah honestly I look back on it and how I was for that first year and I feel sad thinking how much happier I would have been if I just had that extra help to look after myself too.I agree, I follow other rich influencers who have been open about having a night nurse and fair play to them. The get an undisturbed 8/9 hours sleep, are with their baby all day bonding and feeling good, recovering faster mentally and physically because sleep is so important. Having a newborn and good sleep is the dream.
My mental health took a real battering and I hardly went outside I developed such anxiety around people.

Unless you’ve experience that level of lack of sleep you won’t understand. I would happily get a good nurse to help me out and get my full 8-9 hours a night so I could wake up fresh and have a nice coffee
Meals prepared would have been heaven too. I remember literally having to shove anything I could find into my mouth… sitting down having a meal in peace was out of the question. It was a huge shock to the system.
In other countries people have big families all around the mums helping them out unfortunately I didn’t so I still feel traumatised by the whole thing.
