Sleep! people told me that you wouldn’t get sleep once you have children, i mistakenly believed it was only during the newborn phase and that once they slept through the night i would get plenty of sleep. Wrong!

Sleep and food prep.

I was well prepared and ready for birth.

My first definitely sleep, my second, I tried but couldn’t sleep. With baby 2, due to complications with baby 1, I had to go to a particular hospital. The entire pregnancy I hated that idea and really wanted to go to the same as my first, even though it was a little further. I wished I had of stuck to that plan because honestly I was dying to be discharged, my care bordered on neglect, a huge difference to my first. I was glad I wasn’t a first time Mum or I would have had no idea. It wasn’t just me btw, it was 5 beds to the room and there was 2 c section first time Mums and another Mum struggling with breastfeeding, no help and rations for food. The 5th Mum had 2 other kids and like me couldn’t get discharged quick enough

Sleep

Maybe get my legs waxed??

Made more freezer meals. My toddler ate some very slapped together dinners after my ceasar with baby #2.

Relaxed more. Every little pain, cramp, symptom I was on edge thinking is this it? I was constantly googling everything lol

I would have prepared more for the change to my body. I remember leaving the hospital and the bra I was wearing was shockingly too small for the change that happened when the breast milk came in. It was quite funny.

I can’t think about anything.
