my baby was born on 10/20/15, he finally gets to stay in the room with us at the hospital tonight!…

It's ok to ask for help especially right now don't think your being a bad mom

It's normal. They're probably going to make you take some still softeners and that's gunna get everything out of you.

I didn't have a bowel movement till 3 days after my c-section I think that's normal.

I've taken stool softners for 3 days now and a laxative yesterday and today and for some reason nothing is coming out still :/ @kimberlyyyy

I just feel like I should be able to do this and I can't figure out why I'm having such a hard time doing it @reaganmommy2015

They should have had you trying to sit up after 12 hours and walking. I was taking care of my baby all by myself by day 2

I hope so @nikolai_mommy15

its not that you cant handle being a mom.. its the pain!! Been there its awful awful pain.

this pain is no joke @rhia

and I've been walking since 9 hrs after the c section and sitting up since the 10/21 @nikolai_mommy15

I had my csection 14 years ago and. I will never forget the pain. please dont be afraid to ask for help.. you need to heal up.

Keep pushing yourself momma and don't be scared to ask for help or pain meds. I kept throwing things at my hubby so he would wake up and help me. He has to help too you just had stomach surgery for goodness sake! You can also let the nurses know and baby will go to the nursery so you can rest.@dianne0825,

I had a c section 2 months ago and I was told to never let my pain mess completely wear off because I'd be sorry. Seriously mama if you're in pain ask for the meds no one will think you less of a mom. And ask for help you need it and don't get down on yourself being a mom is hard!

I feel like I'm getting very overwhelmed with everything and it makes me feel bad, ive asked my fiancé for help but he just seems like he's getting really frustrated with everything as well @rhia and I want to see the baby though I haven't see him but twice and now he finally gets to stay in the room with us I don't want to send him out and make him think we don't want him around 😢

@santistevanmommie I've been trying not to let the meds wear off before asking for more but I have called several times for a nurse and it takes me hitting the button at least 3 times before someone answers then when they say that the nurse will be right in the shortest time I've had to wait for them to get to me is 30 mins so by then I'm in pain and irritated

⬆⬆⬆@nikolai_mommy15

Congrats hunny

thank you 😊 @february2016

it gets easier..just hang in there💛

@dianne0825, I didn't go at all until I was released from the hospital plus you have to remember that you did have a major surgery and it takes longer to heal

I didn't go #2 until I was out of the hospital almost 2 wks. Try to remind your hubby that you want to be doing it on your own but just need help until you can. C sections are hard and I remember at the beginning I felt very useless because there wasn't much I could do because I had so much pain

All absolutely normal! Use the nurses while you can, that's what they're there for. They will help with anything mama don't feel bad!

I don't feel like the nurses care honestly and I feel like they are trying to tell me how fast I should be healing, what I should be eating and everything. every time and I do mean every time I am breast pumping they just walk in no knocking no nothing and then act like it's no big deal and I'm sorry but I want some private time while doing that and I've said that to them, especially with how discouraged I feel that my milk production hasn't picked up at all :/ @coraanne
