Tips for healing?

I just had my second child this week on 11/11
I went in and made no progress for some time so myself and my provider decided to move on to a c-section as I had a bunch of troubles throughout pregnancy as well as my baby was pretty large.

My first was a vaginal birth, so this is a hard and really difficult to be healing from and I feel like I didn’t fully process how hard this was going to be.

I’m in so much pain, and so sluggish at the moment as I know is probably normal.
However I need some tips to help ensure healing/and successful recovery.
I’m not even sure where to start.any tips would be amazing, I’m being discharged any moment now and going to pick up my 7 year old to say I’m anxious would be an understatement…

Hi Hannah, I had a c section also. The best tip I have is to try to get up and move as much as you safely and comfortably can. I had a really hard time with constipation from the sedation and pain medication…make sure you make provision to get some aids on hand to help just in case. That will increase your comfort level quite a bit! Good luck!

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
