Help

My mom came to stay with me in house a couple days before my operation. And with a 4 day stay and blue my baby in the nicu, I couldn’t be more grateful to have the extra support. It gives my husband the flexibility to take care of me and the baby, someone is always with my dog, and the extra company is nice during a trying time. Never feel like you shouldn’t reach out for help🩵 you’re going to be recovering from an intense and serious surgery while also navigating life with a new baby who is also trying to figure out life with you. That baby needs you and sometimes us mama’s need someone to mother us too

Everyone healing process is different and will have huge impact on recovery. With my experience. Being a 4 weeks post c-section mom, the first couple days I heavily dependent not totally. My first week I was up and moving around helping cause I wanted to. Within 2 weeks I took over and my family was helping as needed and I’m 4 weeks and totally independent(thanks to God). I always say listen to your body if you’re doing something that’s causing negative effects don’t push it. But if you can try to be active(small walks here and there before you leave the hospital and try to stay active like being up and talking, helping to change baby all those will help aiding to a faster recovery time. I wish you well and may God be with you🙏🏽

Everyone's healing process is different. I felt pretty back to myself within a week. I didn't really need any help past the first few days

My husband stayed home on paternity leave for 3 weeks, I only focused on healing and resting with babe.
Then I had my mom come up for his first week back to work, to kinda slowly get me back into the swing of things and take on the toddler with baby aspect.
Doing the same this round with my 3rd.
