Currently 3 days postpartum and still feeling horrid. Everywhere feels different and tender (not to mention the pains from the aftermath of being in labour). Also feel weak and all round weird. Are we meant to be feeling like this? Anyone else like this?

That is exactly how I felt and I promise it does get better. Xx

I felt horrendous after birth. I was in hospital for a week but this was because my LB was in intensive care and needed antibiotics I was ‘medically’ fine and would’ve gone him after 24/48hrs if he wasn’t unwell. I lost abit too much blood but nothing overly concerning but I really felt awful!!!
I had stitches as well which didn’t help but I felt exactly like you, it does get better it might be worth checking in about your iron levels because whilst mine weren’t exactly ‘low’ I had a big drop in mine which was likely why I felt the way I did as well xx
