C-section recovery

Anyone else had a c-section and around day 10 had severe pain in pelvis and feel like they’re going to split in two? I’ve been in a bit of discomfort over the past few days but this is intense and I’m struggling to move

I’m 5 weeks post C-section and only ever had pain around the scar for the first 14 days.. I deffo say that probably isn’t normal and get checked out incase of infection!! Xx

Have you been moving more? When I was about 10 days I took a walk around the block thinking it would be easy and found myself in so much pain I was close to tears. Maybe you just pushed yourself too hard?

Worth giving your midwife a call though x

I’d defo get some advice. Everyone is different but I’ve been out and about walking etc since day 3 without any severe pain so what you’re describing doesn’t sound typical to me. Are you still taking painkillers? x

Worried about conceiving after c section

I ended up with an emergency c section. Since reading around the topic looks like c section can be linked to secondary infertility, and now worried that it will be difficult to conceive number 2. Any one had this concern / any reassuring stories
? Thanks :)

I feel overwhelmed trying to do it all as a mom

The past two months were really hard for me. I was waking up extremely early to take my daughter to my sister so she could watch my daughter, then heading straight to work. On top of that, some nights my daughter would wake up in the middle of the night and wouldn’t go back to sleep until around 5am.
I was trying to push through it all, but I ended up getting overwhelmed and had to leave my job. Now I’m back struggling again and honestly just trying to figure things out.
For moms who’ve been through this—how did you make it work or what helped you get through those seasons?

Back randomly hurts

Anyone else who had an epidural (or multiple) does your back just randomly hurt or get tender from time to time? Also did this make you not opt for an epidural in future pregnancies?
