Can you make any time for yourself? (and your fiancee)
You will start to feel normal again, in time.
Maybe join some mums groups,or look for local baby and toddler groups.
If you have a partner maybe you could have evenings off and do some gentle exercise or join and excerise group. Its a good way to meet other women and will realise happy endorphins to help you feel better.
And always a good one, if you can get someone to have your son get yourself down to the hairdressers and have a pamper. I myself am a hairdresser and I have had plenty of mums in your position in before and I love nothing more than to help them cheer up and make them feel like themselves again, even if its just for a couple hours.
And remember all of us on this site are here to chat and listen and be a community together so hopefully you could chat to some of the wonderful ladies on here.
Hiya, my best bit of advice is don't hide how you're feeling.I used to go for a shower and just cry my eyes out so that no one knew how miserable I was even though sometimes I was sad because I was happy. When I started talking to my other half about it things did get easier. It does get easier but don't keep everything to yourself. This is a great site for talking to people and even with stuff you wouldn't normally talk to friends and family about.
