EVERYTHING changes!!

[Esperanza84]

Everyone keeps telling me that EVERYTHING will change after we have the baby, that we will almost have NO TIME to see eachother (me and hubby) and NO SLEEP, and that EVERYTHING GETS TURNED upside down..

I'm starting to panick!!! Does this mean that me and oh will have no time for eachother, ever again??? Is our romantic relationship over once the baby is born??? I don't want it to be over...I love him soooo much and I just looove spending time with him. I don't want all this to end

Am I the only one panicking? How do you feel about all the changes? (it's probably just my hormones messing with me, I know, but it's scary).

If anything we got closer and I fell in love all over again. We had the odd sleep deprived argument but it brough is together looking at this amazing person we had made . Dont worry about everyone's stories xxx

try not to worry hun, people keep saying the same things to me, its a bit mean that people feel the need to try and scare us

I have plenty of friends with children though who say everything does change but for the better i'm sure it will be ok. xxx

Id say its brought us closer both times, we too have had sleep deprived arguments after i gave birth to Adam, we havent had any with Elexia up to now, fingers crossed we wont but we just look at the two gorgeous little people we have and it makes everything better x x

Everything does change, but for the better. It's bloody hard work, esp in those first few weeks when you don't know if you're coming or going and not getting much sleep, but it soon all comes together. You're also running on adrenaline so that helps you get by anyway.

You'll wonder what life was about before. It's tiring, but it's life changing for the better!!!

Thats good to hear ladies!!! I feel stupid for thinking about this, since we have ttc for so long to get a bfp, but those hormones make me feel insane some days

I think I will have to just take in your kind words, think about those, and eat some choclate and the world will look brighter to me

to you all!! It's so nice to have you!!!!

No need to feel stupid hunny, you can prepare for and dream about having a LO so much but it still doest give you an insight of how things are going to be once LO is here.
The chocolate sounds like a great idea, have a piece for me as im being good and trying to shift my baby weight x x

Yeah I'm sure everything will change but they'll be natural changes and ones you will want to make. Ignore negative people, it's never good to dwell on what ifs x

HI hun, I was told this before my son was born. I was petrified! For some reason I think people thought this would be helpful!! I was even told i would have no time to wash my face or get dressed!

This is completely wrong and unfair for people to say! Ok, every baby is different but I cant see it ever changing anything for the worse! My son would never take a bottle so I did all the feeds for the first 6 months, yes i was tired but i loved every minute. my son is now 2 and has been in a good routine since around 7 months, bed at 7 up around 7-8 ish. this gives me and my hubby lots of time together and lots of quality time with our son in the day! In fact we loved it so much we dared to do it all again!!..... With a 2 year old this time aswel! lol So don't listen to them, yes it can be hard but anything in life can be and its worth every minute!! I hope this helps and please try not to worry about it, I was the same and all the worries and fear will go once baby is in your arms xxx

I'll do that

Hey

People keep telling me the same thing too, personally I know deep down that yes it will change but only for the better not the worse, I trust in my relationship with OH and we have had some very tough times.

It will be what you make it is what I keep being told too, so who is to say we can't have a happy life once baby is born too

Ah hun I hate it when people say everything changes. No shit! Lol. And they say it in such a negative way. Just ignore them. I'm sure it won't always be a walk in the park being parents, but it'll be the best thing ever I reckon

Everything does change but not in a bad way. Rather than sitting watching a movie with ur OH, you'll both be standing over your gorgeous baby staring at it wondering how its so perfect.

I had a few sleep deprived days with my 1st, but none with this baby touch wood. Its such a life change when its ur first and nothing can prepare you. But once you get by the first few weeks, the routines are normally solid & you can start to get your life back, life will go back to the same, friends round, nights out ect ect except you'll have a baby.

pmsl @ Olive!!!!! Exactly!!!

Me and OH have been together for 23 years.......I can't believe people think we are so stoooopid to think that the life we have known for 23 years won't change with this new life we are bringing into it!!!

We are so looking forward to the changes, the new challenges, new directions this journey will take us on.

Bring it on!!!

Yea i've had this from one person-but she meant it in a "you're never going to go out EVER AGAIN" - she doesn't have kids. But i said to her i hardly go out as it is so that wont make a big change to me. My sister said that it all does change but in a good way too--and shes got 4 (going on 5) now so i assume it must be bloody brilliant!

Like your style cazza x

I've had the you won't get time to do this/that chats too. It's like some people think you're confined to the house if you have kids

Tbh my neighbour has a baby and she's been at it this week saying next year we won't be able to pop in at night as both lo's will be in bed. I kind I'd thought, provided he's a good sleeper he can sleep anywhere provided it's comfy and safe. We'd only be next door ffs not taking him to a pub lol.
