I need some advice on recovery post c-section and she will only sleep if placed on me or sometimes rarely my partner. I got no sleep last night and we tried everything so please send over some advice!!

Congratulations!
Look up safe cosleeping and chest sleeping.
It’s super biologically normal that she only wants to sleep on you so just research how to do it safely so you can sleep too!

You need to co-sleep to get sleep.

I have coslept with all 3 of my babies. It was/is the only way we get sleep. Safe sleep7 rules on Google are helpful.

Congratulations 🥰 my youngest was the same, I had an emergency section, I spent no joke 4 weeks sleeping on the sofa propped up with him on me as that was the only way he slept. I understand the fear you have some co sleeping but I was always semi conscious of him being on me and it helped us both

Choosing delivery date

I am having a c section and my doctor has provided two delivery dates. One of them falls on my husbands bday. We are in disagreement bc he wants a shared bday with our daughter. I don’t want them to have the same bday bc I want her to have her own special date. Also future kids might be upset they don’t have a shared bday. Idk what to do. Any advice?

Induction!

Hey there!! Currently in hospital to get induced, been here since 1120am monday (22nd) I first had the pesserie insertion and after those 24h I dialated on the outside of cervix only by 1cm. So they then tried the dilapan rods insertions, they didnt use a speculum for that and it was the MOST uncomfortable thing ever! It litteraly pinched me or something! Idk what happened! It was that painful and uncomfortable that I burst out crying like I have never cried before! I hated it! So ive been given some time to think and i decided to try again but with Gas and Air, in the delivery suite to use the things to prop up my legs, and then the speculum too!! Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?! Or what are your guys' experience with the same induction types!?

Baby came home today 🥵

I had an emergency c section Monday morning and i bought baby boy home today.
My house is sitting at 30-34 degrees and I'm terrified of him overheating. Any suggestions?
We have fans going and windows open to move the air about but it's just not cutting it.
Also any suggestions on getting in and out of bed post c section would be helpful 🙂 feels like my belly is a zorb ball and my womb is a sandbag inside it 😵‍💫
Picture of him for tax 💙
