Yes. Everyday. It's like I'm still recovering from the first months even though he's 8.5 months now

Have you had your blood work done? Iron, thyroid, B12, etc. I used to have to sleep 10-12 hours to feel human before having a kid. Now I can operate on 7 hours comfortably. I don’t know what the difference is lol.

I haven’t slept more than 4hrs total since 2023 buuuut I’m sure that it will be yrs before the 9-10 hrs I needed before will be enough again (in my 20s & even the first half of my thirties pre this second pregnancy sleep deprivation just was sooooooo easy compared to 35+😵‍💫)

Silly questions

Does anyone else ever read a post and think “why tf are you asking us this and not calling a doctor!?” I understand this is a place to share advice, thoughts, and opinions.. but are some questions really necessary? for example one person asked a question about sex being painful after a surgery, and another asked if they should get their baby medical attention because their newborn had accidentally gone under dirty water during bath time. Why on earth would you take the time to write a whole paragraph about how your baby was under dirty water, right after it happened, instead of calling a health professional for advice??? I honestly think some of these questions put out there are ridiculous and need to be taken to a professional instead of waisting time asking strangers on an app.

Finding second C-section recovery so much harder!

Laddies I need all your tips and tricks to a smooth recovery.
I’m 5 days post elective C-section after having twins . My first C-section was 3 years ago and an emergency.
This time I am struggling ALOT I’m keeping ontop of ibuprofen and paracetamol but still on a fair amount of pain especially on the side they’ve tied of.
I’m really struggling to poo! It’s there and waiting to come out but generally feels like I have a cork up my arse (when I wipe there’s soft poo on the tissue I just can’t get it to come out)
I’m not breastfeeding but my boobs are soooo engorged
My ankles n feet generally hurt from the swelling
My back is absolutely killing from sleeping on it (I’m a stomach/side sleeper but it’s to painful to even try these positions)

I am staying mobile that isn’t a problem, ince I’m up and moving I’m fine but getting up is BAD


Please anyone send help 😩 my twins are fast asleep yet I’m wide awake because I’m in so much discomfort
