Do you feel like after you had your baby, you lost your identity/not sure who you are anymore?
I feel like that. I still see my friends, but obviously i always bring my baby with me. I sometimes feel like I have lost part of me.
Has that happened to you? And how did you find yourself again? ;-)

Yes I think its easy to lose yourself after having a baby but its easy to stop just make sure you have some time to yourself even if its only once a week time to take a bath without a little person there with you or see a friend without her there too just so you can be you for a little while it will help.

Life changed considerably for me after I had my baby. I try to make sure that I still go out to places that I enjoy going to, see friends and continue to travel a great deal. I find myself feeding my baby on demand and it is not aways convenient so he must wait for a while. When I go out for a day I find he needs so many things like feeding and nappy changing facilities. Going away for a weekend means taking away even more. We are going to Latvia in the summer and there is a 15kg limit on our luggage. I worry that all baby's things will be most of what we take and I will be able to take very little. I think my sister's life was taken over long ago by her children and she now has four. I feel that she stays at home most days and misses out on many of the things that she used to enjoy like visiting art galleries, traveling and restoring china. The Internet is the most exciting thing in her life perhaps.
