[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. It's really, really hard OP. I had a December baby last year and there were legitimately some dark days. That being said, I framed it like this: there are so few times in life that you can really focus, really zero in on what's truly important. This is one of those times. For right now, respiratory diseases like flu, RSV, covid etc are super dangerous for your baby. Their airways are tiny and their immune systems are just getting started. Do what you can to avoid them for this brief period of your baby's life. You will never regret it. Your mental health would be in a much darker place if your baby was hospitalized (which has happened to a few of my friends despite their best efforts).

Your mental health is extremely important, for both you and the baby. Find friends that you can speak candidly to--tell them your good, bad and ugly. It really does help. If you don't have those friends, get a virtual therapist. Everything you are going through is completely normal in a totally abnormal time in the world. It is temporary. Take walks, take breaks when your partner can help you, watch all the movies you ever wanted to watch, order good food, have a glass of wine. You can do this. [/quote]
