There are many things which i would now do differently :

Don't be scared to ask for help! - I suffered PND in silence for 6 months until i was at breaking point because i could not admit to myself i had it.

House work can wait !! Don't try and do everything

Sleep when ur baby is sleeping - or if someone offers to take ur child to give u a break - let them ... it will do u the world of good.

Establish a routine - try different ways til u find one that suits YOU the best

A very important one is - communicate with your partner... help each other if you are both new to this and you both will grow stronger together.

I wish i knew about this site when i was pregnant - it would have helped me a lot

Start a routine as soon as you can, make the bathtime at the same time and a quiet unwinding time after, Jack's been sleeping 12 hours at night for a while now and he's only just about 3 months, the routine definitely helped.

Mine would be relax, dont stress about everything after your baby is born

Also as soon as your LO is sleeping make a cup of tea, sit on the couch and either watch Tv or read a magazine.

But try to be chilled out mummy and you'll get a chilled out baby

Take each day one at a time and rest whenever you can get it.
