If you had a vaginal birth or c-section, how long was your recovery?
I have no financial support bc i was substituting and they’ve been on break & also it’s based off availability. I am drowning in debt and will be giving birth soon & thought I’d have a little net of safety for finances to be able to at least stay home for a month or two with baby, but doesn’t seem like it. Any tips or advice or just information is appreciated 🙏

When you say recovery do you mean how soon were we Physically able to do things with NO pain? If so, a week tops for me, vaginal with 2 tears.
yes just being able to move and go back to work i guess. Thank you

Honestly mine was like a week or two. There was bleeding later, but I mean the stitches dissolve quickly and I was fine pretty quick. But I also barely tore

But I did like being on the couch in disposable underwear all day

I was c section and it was bad with pain I was 5 weeks
Ok thx for sharing, I’m supposed to be due mid May but have been having contractions (says Dr) and ftm i hear can give birth earlier so I’m trying to be mentally prepared & financially ready to stay home and pay rent

I had a c section and was walking the next day.
