New baby help!

Ok so baby is 4 days old and we just got home yesterday. I feel a sore throat coming and feel crap after c-section! Do I need to wear a mask? I can’t just hand off the baby while sick so please give advice 🙏🏽

I had the same when he was 1 week old. I wore a mask just in case. I didn't want him to catch a cold.

ok thank you! I will most definitely wear a mask. I’d hate for him to get sick and for it to be my fault.

If you are breastfeeding your milk will give baby the antibodies to fight it/protect them. I wouldn’t worry just avoid kissing face and hands until feeling a little better if you can. My daughter never got sick from me but did from others. My milk in the first bit of her life helped prevent that!

What she said! 👆🏻

Completely agree with what Carson said , I got sick 3 weeks after c section I had a cold I didn’t wear a mask but I stopped kissing baby until I felt better , I also was breast feeding and it’s literally liquid gold

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
