    There are days when it is hard, and it is very early days for you. Also having 3 sick is not usual, they usually wait and have it one after the other in my house to give me a little breathing space! Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to go out or attend to your usual activities and accept help that is offered. 4 kids is an amazing, fun, busy and yes, sometimes very hard, household but as your baby grows you will find it gets easier.

    How is your MCHN, is she approachable? I would recommend you have a chat to her or your GP if you prefer about how you are feeling and see if she has any suggestions that could help you. If you are having a day here and there where you want to just cry that is normal, but if you are finding more days like that then not it could be possible you have some post natal depression and it's worth chatting to someone to deal with this sooner rather than later so they can help you feel better xx

    4 can be an absolute nightmare... & my kids are further apart than yours. So its alot easier for me.
    don't push yourself, it will get better xx
