I (22) just had my first baby a month ago now via c-section due to physical pain that made me unable to push. I love her and I would've loved to have another one but the pain is so unbearable that I dont think I could have another one. Did anyone else feel this way? Or could give me advice of how to bring it up better to my husband?

I felt like this … and then 8 weeks post partum I can’t remember at all what it felt like. If you only had baby a month ago, you’ve got a very long time before you should safely consider another anyway. Your mind may change again, bear in mind you still have lots of hormones, lack of sleep etc. honestly you don’t need to even think about it atm, and if he keeps bringing it up tell that you are focusing on this baby right now! If you get to him asking to try for another, and you still feel the same, then have the conversation because honestly you don’t need to be worrying about it at all right now! Also if you are in pain still, I’d maybe get checked out as idk if it is supposed to be hurting so significantly 4 weeks post x

I understand I’m 2 months pp . I had an emergency c section after 2 days of labor , and just a hard high risk pregnancy . I think it’ll just take as much time as we need to process what our bodies went through . Ik my mother has had 5 children and each labor was different for her and most being a positive experience only her first was traumatic . Knowing that I think that labor (if you were to have a baby again ) could be very different than the first time . I hope other experienced mommas have more advice for you .Glad you and baby are healthy congrats !🫶

Ask for his help bcz he probably doesn't know what to do or how ur feeling, if you know your husband you get an idea of how he's going to react even if there's a doubt you'll never know if u dont bring it up, I cried everytime I got up but I would do it again because I know that pain is going to go away and looking at my 1 1/2 year old is would do it all over again. But it has to be your choice...
I am also 22 a.t.m and my son is 1 1/2 ,everything hurt all day all the time but you have to keep moving and make sure u put that compression band on i found that helped alot and I made the mistake of staying im bed and it hurt me more, I hope things get better and I hope your happy
