In shock after labour

I previously shared that I was overdue and my husband’s sisters had requested to know all the detail’s of my labour, which we agreed he would simply say it was fine.

I gave birth and I still haven’t processed how traumatic it was. It ended in an emergency c section under general anaesthesia due to an infection. Being fully dilated for hours.

In a family group chat; they asked him “how was the whole ordeal?”, I haven’t read his response but he casually mentioned that he told them I had a c section.

Even just that detail alone has filled me up with rage and disgust toward him. I’m so deeply hurt that he even shared something as simple as that.

I haven’t processed it at all and it only happened today I’m just in shock and traumatised by the experience.

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.

First Postpartum Period

Hi guys, just a quick one. I am 7 weeks PP via C-Section and I have been on my First period for 2 weeks now. My lochia bleeding stopped week 4 then I had a weeks break. The bleeding is quite heavy and is not getting lighter. I have cramps but they feel like normal period cramps. Is this normal 🥲. Please help!
