Feeling guilty

sassybride05

Things have been getting better with feeding our LO's but I still can't help but feel overwhelmed (between pumping, formula and not sleeping).  Then I feel guilty because I feel this way and that I should just be happy I have two healthy babies.  I love them and holding them but in the back of my mind I keep thinking how hard it is taking care of them and then i feel...you got it, guilty.  Please tell me I'm not alone?

totally normal!  i felt that way with 1, you're almost required to feel that way with 2!!

being totally enamoured with your children does not mean you can't feel overwhelmed (or sad, or tired, or any of a million of the other emotions that conflict with love) at the same time. 

hugs to you!

I think everyone goes through that. Don't let it get you down. Taking care of multiples is hard work... taking care of kids is hard work. We do the best we can and try and enjoy the little moments. Keeping those tiny moments that they are content, smiling, playing, etc is what gets me through the bad days, because I know there will be more happy ones.

It's completely natural and normal to feel overwhelmed.  I'd be amazed if anyone didn't feel that way after having one baby, let alone multiples.  The first few months are really rough physically and emotionally, hang in there!

(((hugs))) it's so hard to fit it all in! I'm pumping, trying to bf, trying to sleep, etc. We're just doing the best we can!
