I waited till 10 weeks pp I just wasn’t interested

Listen your body. My fist baby I was soo keen but my second I couldn’t until 5 months pp. each body is different so my best advice is if you feel
Ready and you have your doctor clearance, go for it.

You’ll know when you’re ready, I’m 8 weeks pp and not bothered about it, but we also have a toddler plus it’s flu/cold season so we have more important things keeping us busy tbh!😅

I was not ready at 6 weeks pp, also was not bothered too, no way I could have someone laying on top of me pushing on my scar at 6 weeks pp - I think you’ll just know when you are ready just because you are “in the clear” at 6 weeks if you or your body aren’t ready don’t push it 🤍

How do you handle the pressure to constantly do activities?

I see so many mums keeping a packed daily schedule, and it makes me feel guilty that I don't do the same for my 9 weeks old daughter. Do you feel like your baby needs constant out-of-the-home stimulation, or is a slower, quieter routine at home just as good?

Last min C-section

Hey mamas! I was getting induced at 39 weeks since baby is big. The induction itself last over 30 hours and the doctor then suggested it turn into a c-section delivery. It was the most mortifying experience ever, being deliriously drugged up and in pain for such a long period of time, then being told the initial operation was unsuccessful.

Now I’m about 6 days post-partum and healing at home. Any mamas have advice on whether scar cream is necessary? Is it that effective? Which one did you use?

Any advice to speed up recovery?

Thanks!
