(Single parent) Do you ever get any time for yourself?

Generally speaking I do feel that I get enough time for myself at the moment - my daughter is 19 months and goes to her dad’s for a few hours most days, and stays overnight there once a week. Although I usually use the time for housework or studying, it does also allow me some time for meeting up with friends or having a long bath and some downtime. However I am pregnant and due any day now, so that balance is going to change dramatically very soon! As I will be breastfeeding, the most time I will get to myself for about a year will be a couple of hours. How I will manage to get any PhD work done, I’m not sure.
