Trying to cope after C-section

Thank you all!!!! I've taken a lot of your suggestions and they seem to be working. I'm so grateful for this app, that allows many of us to share and receive feedback and show love and support. ???

Your not failing mama it just takes some time to adjust. I had a csection with both my boys my 1st one was Miserable everything your experiencing was me my 1st one. But if you try to walk around a lot more the pain will wear off. Make sure your taking your meds too they help a ton! Take them even when your not in pain!

I had my csection last Saturday (14th) and just yesterday I was feeling better. As soon as night time came, I started falling apart. Don't know if this is gas pain or from the incision that is so tight on both my hip sides. Hurts to pee a little and still only able to lay on back. SO is not help at night when I need him the most. My baby is not a sleeper at night. Will be up from midnight-5/6amish. Extremely fussy and I feel like everything I do doesn't work. Waking SO up to help is worthless because he just rolls over or says okay. Warm bottle milk, breast milk, several diaper changes and rocking. Nothing works. Sometimes I feel like I'm failing.

The things we women have to go through though, it's so sad. ??hope you feel better soon.

I had a c section last Saturday and while overall I feel okay my blood pressure is skyrocketing and it’s freaking me out. Also so sick of not being able to pick up my other son or do all the things I’m used to doing around the house and in general ? it took me over an hour to poo the other day and I was about in tears. We just have to hang in there!

I have no appetite havent aten in like 3 days I dont want to do anything but cry I just want to get rid of these hemroid already and stsrt feeling better . I'm right there with u

I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time. I have had two previous c sections so I completely understand. I promise you it will get better. I never wore the c panties or belly band but I have heard those help a lot. Just give it some time, take it easy, and move as much as possible. Putting pressure on the incision when moving helps alleviate some of the pain. Also, you can use the my Breast friend nursing pillow if you still want to breast feed. It helps a lot because it goes above the incision so your baby won’t touch and irritate it.

I love them. This is my fourth c section and first time buying them and I love them. I got the same colors. I hope this bring your great relief

Literally just ordered two of them lol..one nude and one black. I can't wait to get them. Hopefully this makes me feel better. Getting up or trying to sleep is the worse. I have a belt thing the hospital gave me and squeeze an ice pack down there to help with soothing for now. Thank you so much!!!

C pantys are underwear made for c section patients. They go high to the stomach and in incision area it’s a different material not to irritate it. Makes it easier to move.

What's c-panties? I'll look it up to order. Yes sometimes it's a burning feeling or I just can't move like I want. I try to make sure I walk around the house so I don't stiffen up. Thank you for the advice.

Is it the incision that makes it hard? I wear c panty that is made specifically for c section and I love it. I know it’s tough. Just take day by day. Ask for help. If someone asks for help..take it. Talk to your doctor regarding the runs. Time will pass and it will get better.
