The birth of a baby - happy event, but it is naive to assume that young parents permanently experience the joy and pleasure, it happens only in advertising. In fact, the life of a young mother - this is a serious stress, and many moms look forward to when their maternity leave is over, and the time comes to return to work. How to survive this difficult period?

The main problems of young mothers

Women on maternity leave often complain about the monotony of their lives and the lack of communication. All the time is subject to the infant, and each day a woman waits only an endless series of home affairs. It would seem that there are many tools that facilitate the life of a young mother from disposable diapers to washing machines, from vacuum cleaners to robotic cots that rocked children without parental involvement. However, all these devices help reduce physical fatigue, but not moral.

Sorely lacking communication. In its working life girlfriends and other interests, meet new people do not meet the need even to talk about something other than the child and the endless household chores. The husband comes home from work in the evening, confident that his wife was resting all day and makes a complaint. In a sexual relationship in no time.

Often, the family begins to experience lack of funds: not all men can alone support a family, which also became larger. I want to give the child the best, but we have to save. On whom to save, the question is not worth it. Certainly not on the child. Of course, not the husband who goes to work. And the woman begins to save himself - wearing a practical, but unattractive clothes, rarely get a haircut and dye your hair, do no make-up ...

All these problems are perceived particularly badly also because the hormones of women who gave birth almost stable. This means that instability and mood: more and more often there is a feeling of hopelessness, zagnannosti, meaninglessness of existence. Postpartum depression looms Depression .

For example, there is no need to iron the nappies on both sides, if the washing machine has a program for washing baby clothes. Lunch is not necessarily to cook every day - you can cook it for two to three days and can be frozen semi-finished products and ready-made meals to save time in the future.

It is advisable to try at least once a month to leave the child with a babysitter or grandmother and spending time with her husband together. If this is not possible, you can use the time when the baby is asleep, to go back to their relationship a little romance. Only it is not necessary at this moment to talk about the child or household chores - only about love and about each other.
