Stress When First Having a Baby

Congratulations! You might be pregnant or maybe you just had a baby (and you're lucky if you really have time to read this)! There is no more extraordinary feeling than when you just had a baby. So why don't you feel happy all the time?

Stress When First Having a Baby

Well, even the best events in life have the pressure attached to them. Having a baby is interesting for everyone. You have been flooded with the company practically from the time of delivery. If you are a first time mother, the hospital does not give you much help or advice; they send you home with this new little creature with a series of demands that you must try to interpret. And new babies don't sleep much. At least not long enough to allow you to get the much needed rest.

Add to that hormonal changes in your own body, and you have a formula that is guaranteed to be stressful. Sometimes you think you will never be able to sleep overnight. Until the baby is used to the routine, you probably won't do it!

To skip the first few weeks and months, here are a few tips to help you get at least a little more sleep.

First of all, don't try to be a supermom. When a baby naps, take a nap. Laundry can wait and so do the dishes. You don't need to have a perfect home. There will be time for all that; give yourself a break every time you get a chance.

If you have a good friend or relative to help, please use it for one afternoon. Grandma will probably jump at the chance to have a baby for herself for several hours!

When you put your baby in bed for the night, take the time to decompress and relax so that you have a better chance of falling asleep. Lavender-scented bath; turn on the soft music and love yourself a little. Sometimes it's difficult even without a new baby to sleep immediately. There is a lot to do!
