It was hard for me when it comes to 2nd week of confinement. That's when my parents was not staying with me as I was trying to learn how to care for 2 kids. I was mentally distraught as all that's happening to me was too overwhelm for me to handle. Truthfully, this time was different as I was over at my place instead of my parents when I had Adam 3 years back, but it was quite an experience that I slowly managed to overcome it.
Post Natal Blues is something that I went through. I was extremely exhausted, which I believe every new moms would probably agreed with me. I blew my top most of the time with my first born and I let my new born baby cry for I don't know how long it was. Husband text me and ask me how I was doing at home with the kids while he's at work. I held my tears in front of him, answering his questions when he got back home from work. During the day, I cried a lot but somehow or rather I snapped myself out of it.
That guilt feeling towards my newborn was never ending. I blamed myself every single night for raising my voice at him as I was stressed. I spoke to the people close to me and God, I gotta thank them for listening to me, for giving me such a comfort even when they are not physically there with me.
As days goes by, I got better at controlling my emotions and still working out on that. Alhamdulillah, my 2nd born was a easy baby after confinement ends. Goodnight was as early as 8pm and woke up twice at night for milk, which equals to return back to sleep right after his milk session, that means I get to sleep better compared to the first month.
Oh! Did I mention that we finally head down to Dr Sidek for his circumcision. We sleepover at my in-laws home for that 4 days and his ring drop off the next wee morning when we returned to our home. Throughout that 5 days, he wasn't feeling uncomfortable at all nor did he cry or whine in pain. My high pain tolerance babies, just like their Ummi. Alhamdulillah. Be healthy, for I pray that for you.
Happy 2 month old, my second born.
