Some recovery positivity needed🫶🏻

You are doing incredibly well! Not only are you recovering from a major surgery but also looking after a tiny human. Be kind to yourself, mama! Give your mind and body time to adjust. It took me a month or so to start feeling more robust. Everyone is different though - take things at your own pace. I’m so pleased you have a supportive partner 🥰 My appetite was less for a week or so after the surgery. Then something changed and I couldn’t stop eating 🤣 Well done! Rest when you can, enjoy your baby, accept the help that’s offered to you and congratulate your amazing body for growing such a fabby little human!

You are doing amazing! Remember you are only on day 3, give it time! I felt I didn’t eat a lot after my section, it was a struggle to eat 3 meals, I just made sure I ate little and often to keep my energy up x

I was in a bit of shock at how my body was post section but I'm 7 weeks pp now and I can move freely without pain and started some pilates to help with my core. I feel like myself again (minus the weight I gained). You'll get there in no time just take the time you need to rest and recover

The fist few weeks are brutal i used to cry and think im never going to be better but i promise it will get easier! I am doing it again in a few weeks ! I also didnt want to eat much litle and often x

Keep going with the pain relief, even if you feel better! I thought I was fine after a week, boy was I wrong 😅 you’re doing an amazing job after having major surgery, I promise it’ll get easier ❤️

You are doing fine, if it helps you feel better. Day 5 for me I was pretty much pain free and stopped all pain meds. By day 10-14 I felt back to ‘normal’ you have time yet but it’ll go soo quick. Also yes my appetite decreased a lot after the baby.

You’re doing so well! You will be out of the hardest part so soon, just keep resting and remember you’re not supposed to be doing anything. Xx

Just commenting to say you’re not alone, I’m in the exact same position and from these comments it looks like we’ll be okay🤞🏻

Honestly in the next week or so you’ll be feeling so much better I didn’t have much time to even think about my pain my baby was in neonatal and I had been discharged so I was constantly going to and from the hospital which I think really helped i didn’t even think about anything else but making sure my baby was ok but he came home after 4 days and that’s when I realised what my body had gone through and I was mentally and physically drained but by the following week I was pretty much back to doing things as normal just the bending down and get up from sitting was a bit awkward not painful I was just very aware that I had had surgery and now 4 months on seems like a distant memory your doing better than you think you are just take it slow and do something tomorrow you haven’t done today one step at a time
