It's been a bit over a month since my daughter was born. The plan was to breastfeed, but of course, other things happened: I got an allergic reaction to the steri strips and was put on antibiotics; I then developed seroma above my c-section incision a week later, and ended up in the E.R. with 103.5° temperature; My OB came down to the E.R. and drained it from cutting a small part open (it was superficial (hurt like hell but felt so much better afterwards); I was also recommended to see a wound care specialist, and am now using a wound vac to get this finally healed up! 😧 I just want all this to be over with so I can finally bond with my son more and just do more than what I'm doing now. Lugging around a medical wound vac while holding a month old infant, having an almost 18m old follow you around and trying to get housework done is really difficult. I am hoping I have one more week with this vac, like what the nurse had told me on Monday at my appointment. I don't even want to go to the grocery store with this on. I'm not embarrassed at all, bc my body went through a tough time for my babies, but it takes a toll on my shoulder and back.

@rikki.ferguson @shannonmallory93 I've had two and this recovery with my daughter is much tougher, than my recovery with my son. I'm just hoping it'll be over soon. Thank you ladies!

I had a C-section with my first, but didn't have complications with it. I'm sorry your going through that girl! I hope you feel much better soon!

@_cskxx3 I've never had a c section either but I just couldn't imagine going through what you are. I hate when people down play c section momma's. They still made a baby, carried a baby, had a baby, and usually have a longer or harder healing process. You're taking on a lot right now. Stay strong. 💪

@rikki.ferguson Thank you so much. But yes, I definitely need them. I know I will, but it's so difficult to deal with, and especially to just hold it all inside bc no one in my family had a c-section so it's hard to explain to them

Girl, that sounds so rough! Prayers for you! You definitely need them. You'll get through all this though.
