5 things I regret doing after having Kids
All my life I had wanted to be a mother. I was maternal and cuddling other people’s babies gave me such joy!
We started trying for a baby straight after we got married. Pregnancy didn’t happen quickly for us and I started to wonder if it ever would.
Then, bang! Two pink lines on a pregnancy test confirmed that a baby was on the way!
I knew our lives would change of course. I knew everything was about to become busier, chaotic, messy, exhausting. All of those things.
I expected those things.
My baby arrived and we were over the moon! All of those expectations started to come to fruition. Especially the lack of sleep.
I thought I was prepared
I’ve always suffered from insomnia so I expected to be prepared for the sleepless nights much more than I was. Now I realise that you don’t know sleep deprivation until you’ve paced the floor for hours each night and day to try and get your baby to sleep.
As the sleep deprivation set in, my judgement became so distorted. I walked around in a haze and made decisions I still regret, even four years on.
