[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP. Different situation but as somebody who was a single parent with no family or friends around I had to accept and ask for help from acquaintances such as coworkers and neighbors. If you can build a local support system, it will be easier. Sometimes just knowing I can drop DD off at a neighbor's house helps make things seem less overwhelming even if I don't often take advantage of it. If you have the means, I would also find a nanny you can trust. If you have someone everyday, you can get used to that person being in the house. Having a nanny would also allow your toddler to stay at home during some of the hospital visits so that your little one can stay in his/her routine and be less tired, as well as allow you some time to focus on just your husband instead of trying to deal with both your husband and your toddler at the same time.[/quote]
