Need support/words of encouragement

Looking for positive stories. I am almost 3 weeks post emergency c-section and my insides still are so uncomfortable and I developed a seroma in my incision (fine otherwise but leaking a lot of fluid. Doctor said it’s not infected). I’m so tired and overwhelmed with this. I still can’t lay on my sides, and I feel so sore.

Overwhelmed

My baby is 7 months old and i just feel exhausted. I can't keep on top of housework, eating well and I feel like I'm generally just drowning.
Is this normal or does it ever get any easier? Feel a bit scared for the future as people say the first 6 months are when babies are the easiest 😬
Posting incognito as I just feel a bit embarrassed!

VBAC prep?

Hi! I’m a 28 yo FTM, currently 8 months post partum, and am hoping to prep my body in hopes for having a VBAC in the future. I had a c section because my baby was breech upon getting admitted, and my contractions were too close together to attempt flipping. Any tips for anyone who prepped or had a successful VBAC? I’ve gained weight while nursing and just feel really out of shape. I want the best chances at having a successful VBAC! Thanks!

Weaning

Want to start weaning but I’m confused as I keep seeing things saying baby should be able to sit up on their own - mine definitely can’t sit on their own on the floor - he would flop to the side and needs hands to help hold him up. But he is ok in the high chair?

Those who have started weaning their baby with food already , can your baby sit on the floor on their own? Or no but you still have introduced foods?

Kids birthday party on Halloween day

If Halloween falls on a Saturday, would you let your child attend a classmate’s birthday party during the afternoon?

It’ll be a costume/halloween themed party, with lunch provided, parents and siblings are welcome, and it will end in time for people to go home and get ready for their evening plans.
