[quote=Anonymous]Well I have a new baby and a preschooler I haven’t showered in 2 days, washed my hair in 3, slept for more than 5 hours straight, or used the bathroom alone with the door closed in months. Also, I have a huge diastasis, no core strength, back hurts, and haven’t worn a bra with underwire since my third tri. Also none of my clothes fit because I’m a lactating cow. My current shirt smells like spit up and I’m wearing the same pair of faded leggings I wore yesterday because they are one of the few items that fit. Already cried once today about going back to work. I am tired, hormonal, touched out, and have a touch of postpartum rage. My house is a mess. Because of Covid I’ve had little family support and few of the fun things that are special to having a newborn (grandparent and friend visits, mommy group, mom baby yoga, lunches with working friends to meet the baby, family holiday celebrations, etc). Pregnancy and postpartum are hard normally and even harder now due to Covid. Don’t forget how hard these years are, OP. I would love to have kids who can wipe their own butts and fix their own snack and let me shower right now.  [/quote]
