C section recovery blues
Hey,
I’m 5 days pp after a c section and just finding the recovery tough. I’m so frustrated that I can’t fully participate in everything I need to be doing to care for my baby, and need help doing every little thing! It’s affecting my confidence as a mum already, that I need my partner there all the time. It’s really getting me down now, my heart breaks every time my partner has to take baby off me or complete a task I’ve started but can’t finish.
Anyone else feeling the same, or know how long this recovery phase has to be?

I've felt exactly the same! I'm 18 days pp and still not fully pain or discomfort free.
Oh my gosh. Please go easy on yourself!
You have just had major surgery (me too, 9 days PP)
You are not failing anyone. You need to rest and recover, trying to do too much will only set you back. Your only job is to keep yourself and the baby fed. Dad’s job is literally everything else. Cooking, cleaning, changing nappies, laundry. That’s not your concern right now. Enjoy those snuggles and focus on healing.

Happy birthday to me
It's my birthday. 33 today. Hubby went to bed half an hour b4 midnight knowing I stay up to see the day in every year. So I saw it in with my littlest Mr. Then had to wash the baby bottles, sort the dog, lock everything up and bring the little one up to bed. Yaaay. Just another day much.
