Obviously the one sure way to tell that you are the mum of a newborn is the fact that you are walking around with a tiny tot on your hip.

 

But while you might think that is the only  way to tell, even if you do manage to put Baby down for a bit, there are still a number of tell-tale signs that you can’t hide.

 

1. You’re crying

Louder than Baby.

 

2. You haven’t eaten a proper meal in hours

You have been living off biscuits and bread – easy, on-the-go foods – because between eating and sleeping, there is just no time for dinner.

 

3. You are yawning

Every five minutes.

 

4. You really, really enjoy a hot tea

We all love a good cup of tea, but when a hot one is a rare occurrence then when you actually manage to get your hands on one – it’s pure heaven!  

 

5. Having a shower is the best thing ever

Even a quick two minute one does more to your body than caffeine could ever do.

 

 

6. You have multi-taking down to an art form

You are currently feeding Baby, reading this article, making dinner and talking on the phone at the same time! Go you!

 

7. You go shopping just to be alone

The peace and quiet of the grocery store is pure heaven!

 

8. Your washing machine hasn’t stopped since Tuesday

Sick and poop all over tiny baby vests, pyjamas and blankets means it has literally been non-stop since Baby’s birth!

 

9. You haven’t seen the hairbrush in a week

Nor have you left the house, so you don’t actually need it to be fair.

 

10. You can’t remember what it was like to wear jeans

You’ve been living in your pyjamas or tracksuit bottoms for the past two weeks, simply because they are the most comfortable and absorbent – (you are just too tired to wipe away the baby sick...)
