Rant 😂

Is anyone else finding recovery really hard?? I’ve completely underestimated the whole thing and being 12 weeks postpartum now, I thought things would be getting better, not worse. The episiotomy and tears I had are still sore, I’ve got new tears which are so painful, my pelvic floor is shot and I can’t bend my spine backwards.
I’m so so enjoying being a mom and I love her to pieces but I just feel like I can’t fully move on from what was quite a traumatic birth

I am 3 weeks postpartum i had episiotomy and forcep delivery and everything is healed… don’t kill me ahah - bleeding has stopped only a couple of days ago, i still feel the tiniest of pressure? If you wanna call it i think in the place i had the stitches not pain but just feels like something is there ahah and i think the reason everything healed was because i was on my feet literally 6 hours after giving birth, lots of walking and walking after as well, my pelvic floor is slowly getting back to its original state can hold my wee so much better than after i gave birth which i was terrified about because literally i could not wee and when i did i couldn’t control it, i guess everyone is different but i just keep telling myself give it time give it time i can only give the same advice to you my love - you birthed a whole child!! Give yourself some respect and love xx

Boots do these cooling maternity pads and they are great.
I had an episiotomy and tear and it helped with the soreness, used then even with I stopper bleeding for short periods to relieve the pain

Mounjaro/Wegovy

Has anyone used either of these? Obviously there is a large difference in price - are they worth it?
I need to feel confident again and I cannot physically loose this weight after my second child. I had friends be on it and they look amazing but not heard anyone be on Wegovy!

Thanks 😘

Long sleep!

I accidentally let my five week old have a seven hour sleep between feeds! We were all sleeping so deeply that my alarm didn’t wake me up for her feed. She eventually woke me up but she wasn’t screaming and she wasn’t upset, she was just stirring in her cot next to me. I definitely would have heard her if she had woken up earlier. (She is breastfed and well above her birth weight)

Has this happened to anyone else??

Naps

I feel like im going insane please help me or at least help me understand why…
My daughters nearly 8 months old, she has 2 naps a day and sleeps all night from in between 7pm - 6am, however her naps are only 25 minutes to 30 minutes each is this normal? i’ve made sure her wake windows are good, ive put her in her cot in a dark room, ive tried everything it’s quite frustrating i can’t lie as she gets exhausted by 4pm😢

11 month old refusing second nap

I am FREAKING OUT! Today my 11 month old point blank refused his second nap, he ended up being awake for 7 hours and 20 minutes and I know this is too long 😫 but I tried and tried to get him to nap, I tried every 20 minutes from 2:45 till 5pm and he just wouldn’t go down. What the hell is this!? What am I supposed to do tomorrow?!
