De Quervain tenosynovitis. Have you heard of it? The therapist called it ‘first time mother syndrome’. Inflammation of the tendons between the wrist and thumb caused by hormonal changes after pregnancy and long hours of baby carrying. Motherhood huh, yippeee 🙄. On top of everything else, I am returning to work tomorrow. Major anxiety... #musingsofnewmum #postpartum https://www.instagram.com/p/BvbzBW3Bql3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bkjg228uy2xi

Sucks at motherhood pulling hair out moment trying to put 4mth to sleep. Cannot just sleep is it? Must scream to drink, then scream to be cradled, then scream to eat then scream again for dunno what...must turn me into a one woman circus act and a lion before you get tired is it? Not tired cannot sleep, too tired also cannot sleep. Like.every.night Then you turn into a cute sleeping bunny snuggling in my arm and then I feel horrible for getting upset with you.

When I got my class2b thought i can move on to class3 seamlessly until 💔 and 💰 pain when I failed class3 3 times then decided enough, moving on to other things before coming back to it again. Goodness, 10 yrs has passed! Now finishing what I set out to do, dragging the husband to complete it with me too. #NeverTooLate #WhateverItTakes #musingsofnewmum #postpartum (at Bukit Batok Driving Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuAjQKrBeKb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=exan6n1g9bpa

I had another breakdown this morning because I cant tell if baby boy is going through a growth spurt or developing his personality because he goes from happy to cranky on 0.00001 nano secs and no amount of early childhood knowledge I had works to soothe him. Oh Allah, help me please make it easy for me. Then comes the cling and the ‘i will scream murder’ if you remove me from this cling. I love this quiet bond until a pee or hunger or boredom starts to form and ya, i kinda resent it after a while. The resentment will spiral another form of anxiety and depression as I go through guilt (because am I being ungrateful) and a string of other emotions. Doesnt help that I am aware that he wont be a baby forever and these moments will pass and I will miss them when it does. Oh gosh, I am turning mental aren’t I? #postpartum #musingsofnewmum https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKUSt1BYvo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=naxncvtugkel
