Glad you got some rest MrsPear
I am pretty down today. I just can't stop feeling like I'd be okay if only I could get a few solid hours of rest. The probably is really not my LO right now, but me. If I was sleeping soundly prior to her waking, I think I could cope, but my postpartum insomnia is terrible.
I'm going to see my midwife tomorrow in hopes they can help, but I fear they'll just suggest I take melatonin or refer me elsewhere. I'm almost 7 months postpartum and I really need to get my mental health in check. I hope they take me seriously.
They will take you seriously. I think its just the anxiety of not knowing what the night ahead will be like. If Quinn has a run of bad nights I'm the same and quite frankly noone can cope on a couple of hours sleep, especially when they are working long hour.
How do you work it with your DH? Do you do one night each?
Thanks MrsBeano, I do hope so. I can barely cope at work today - just trying to hold it together and not cry. I have an office-mate, so it's really not an option. Our holiday party is tonight and the thought of attending an event that begins at 6pm is just unbearable right now.
My DH is wonderful. He's worried about me. We don't have a guestroom and I can hear Charlotte over earplugs, so he's suggested I spend a night at the neighbors' (we're good friends). I just feel like such a crappy mother for even considering it.
