I can’t take care of my baby.

It’s day 3 after my C-section and my pain is really bad. And I couldn’t just get up to take care of my baby. It really sucks cause I feel like the worse mom and dad told me to send him to the nursery and my nurse told me I couldn’t do that. I just started crying cause idk how I’m gonna take care of my baby when I’m in too much pain to get up and get him. I’m so stressed out and overwhelmed. I just feel like giving up cause I can’t do this.

I know it’s so hard but you got this momma. If you need extra help call for your nurse. They are obligated to help you. It won’t be like this forever. Take your time healing and soak in all those new born cuddles.

you got this it’ll get better it was super hard for me also but it’s something you have to do the pain is temporary and you’re a strong momma

You can do this my love . Take your time. You are a warrior . I’m so sorry you don’t have the proper support you need mama but believe in yourself alittle more. You can always hmu if you need to talk my insta is @univers.oull - im praying for you queen

I’m 7 days post c section. I feel your pain. When they made me get up to walk at 6 hours after surgery, I almost felt like I was going to pass out. I was dripping sweat and dizzy from the pain. My suggestion is to take the pain medication always on time. Also take any additional pain management if possible. They were giving me Tylenol and Advil every 6 hours. And then I asked for hydro morphine every 4 hours when I knew I was going to be doing something taxing like showering. Remember that it is okay if baby cries. It does not mean that you have failed your baby. Take your time when trying to get up and out of bed. But also try to get up often as possible as this will help you heal faster. Everyday gets easier, I promise!
