Can you get some you time? Can your OH take over for a night and let you have a sleep where you don't need to get up in the middle of the night and have a lie in?

If your feeling low hun you should speak with your HV or GP - you should have a 24 hour number too (I do) they are there for support for you & baby I was told & can probbaly get to see you quicker?

u def have to speak with your partner about this!

as if u fall sick it will be no fun for him and the kids!

explain to him how u feel and that u feel left alone with the care of the kids.

maybe he doesn't realise how much hard work it is and that a mummy just needs to have unleast a break for an hour for herself there and then!

it is very important for u now to get some you time!

don't worry about speaking to your GP, he/she will understand straight away what needs to be done.

just tell him u feel low all the time and u feel there is a lack of support with the kids.

that is all you need to tell him/her!

Speak to your OH, & GP, mine was reallly understanding.
I tried to ignore it for weeks, felt i was not getting any support from OH, seemed to be in permanent bad mood, very snappy with everyone, it all came to a head one Sunday I had 4 piles of wasing to do, dinner to get ready, food to prepare for baby. Kids were fighting, baby crying for cuddles, OH found me stood in middle of Kitchen in tears.

He made me go GP, where I burst into tears, he signed me off work for 2 weeks (went back when lo 3 months old).

PM if u want a chat, I'm on PC most evenings

Awwww babe, I am so sorry you are feeling like this. You certainly need to talk to your OH and he needs to listen and then act and help you out and support you! Your OH should realise it is not all down to you, he is a parent too and should be there to help and support you!

Please make sure you talk to your GP, just tell them exactly how you feel, then s/he will be able to help you move forward so you can start enjoying things again.

Keep us posted babe, but please act fast! x
