This c section recovery has been so hard and it's only day 3... 🙁 I just want the pain to go away. I'm so happy to have my little here but ugh I know I'm gonna be a Debbie downer until this pain lifts. My 2 year old needs my attention but I can't fully give it and it breaks my heart. I want to pick him up and cuddle him but I can't with staples and this pain
@sorcha my SO keeps telling me to show him so it'll help him understand but I don't want to scare him and worry him lol
I found cuddles on my side in bed easier and same with cuddles on the couch. I honestly had to show my toddler my incision which helped him understand I had a booboo and he needed to be extra gentle with me. It worked really well and he was very helpful after that.
Thank you 💙 it's just so hard ): I never had to take care of a toddler with a newborn and I wish I could do so much more for him. I've just been so down. I'm breast feeding and because my nipples are so big it hurts. He latches great most of the time. Sometimes it takes a few min to get him on there.
I've had 4 mama. & The first week is the hardest. After that you'll be up and back to your normal self. Congratulations on your baby ❤
I was worried too, but took the chance. He 100% did better once he saw the booboo. And I explained that the doctors did a great job helping mama and they would be checking it every time I saw them. And I guess to them the problem is over and is "fixed"
