Maeva Martinez confides in parental burnout

Former reality TV contestant Maeva Martinez became a mom just over a month ago. On Instagram, she spoke openly about motherhood.

The arrival of a baby turns the couple's daily life upside down. Even if after long months of waiting baby is finally here, parenthood is not innate and baby is not born with a user manual (too bad …). Nourished and clean, babies sometimes start to cry for no reason, and most importantly, without stopping, leaving young parents in great disarray. This is the bitter experience of Maeva Martinez, mother of little one month old Gabriel.

After a complicated night with her son, she decided to open up without taboo on her Instagram account. “I share with you these live photos of our suffering .. this night and this day are particularly difficult. A whole night of crying without my understanding why (…) He cries, he cries and nothing suits him. I don't recognize a cry who seems to say he is in pain but I imagine if he is in this state something is bothering him or hurting him. ", she writes.

“Is it selfish to say I haven't had a half hour break? That I don't have enough, that I want to get out of this room and not hear those crying anymore, that I want to knock myself out to sleep, that I feel misunderstood and not sufficiently supported ?. Tomorrow morning we have an appointment with the pediatrician, I hope she will tell us what is wrong and that we can find a solution for my baby ", she confides.

Her poignant testimony was greeted with great kindness by her community, who did not hesitate to reassure her. Some netizens also advised her to delegate whenever she could.

Indeed, it is normal to be overwhelmed by your child sometimes. At such times, it is important to ask for help without fear of being judged. Consider giving yourself a little break to recharge your batteries and regain your balance.
