There's no easy answers. You're still adjusting to motherhood and knowing that everything you do now has to factor in a little one is a big adjustment to make. It's only been a few weeks and I'm a firm believer that a mother's place is with her newborn. You will adjust and find time to get things done with a newborn in tow. We all do. You will have to make sacrifices too, like losing weight slower because you're breastfeeding for example. With a newborn you really can't focus on yourself too much anymore, but maybe you can factor in 30 minutes to an hour a day of time for working out in the morning or relaxing at the end of the day. Instead of vigorous workouts you could make time to walk for an hour a day with a buggy or infant carrier. There IS a certain amount of stress involved with caring for a newborn, but you WILL adjust.

But it also sounds as if you could do with spending time with other new mums. Is there a new mothers group in your area or baby swim sessions at the local pool or similar? Might do you some good to see and chat about how other new mums are coping and adjusting. Doing something together like baby massage or yoga or swimming might also be relaxing and an additional bonding experience for you.
