I’m not going to lie. Emotionally it’s been rough! I’m managing but I feel so down/anxious so easily.
I ended up back in hospital with a pulmonary edema but feeling good now I’m back home. The lifestyle changes to accommodate baby boy are super overwhelming but trying to get out the house once a day and do the things I used to love!
Still in the get this baby out of me status lol
My baby came early is I’m just trying to catch with milestones and just tired
Exhausted and touched out 😩
good had a bit of a breakdown bc i felt like my baby couldn’t get comfortable with me and as soon as he went to his dad he fell asleep and was calm… i cried in the bathroom
dude literally the amount of compliments i have gotten saying i look great, don’t seem tired, etc is insane like i must be managing pretty well on the outside lol 🤷♀️😂 shocking but im only 4 days pp, wait a few weeks and check back because by then im sure ill be unwinding lol
Day 8 PP and crotch still feels like it weighs 100 lbs 😭standing up for more than 5 minutes is getting easier though lol
Just impatiently waiting for my induction tonight 😅
I'm a week PP and I'm feeling pretty good. Definitely still healing and trying to adjust my sleep schedule.
Only 6 days pp but I feel a lot better physically than I expected to feel but mentally I’m going from baby bliss to baby blues just depending on the hour😅
My back is killingggg me from all the breast feeding and he wants to be held all the time, starting refusing his bassinet 1.5 week old 😅 he’s 3 weeks tm, breastfeeding is not for the weak! I love him so much just wish I had more help
2 weeks pp and still in pain when using the restroom but other than that, good 👍 Having to exclusive pump due to a tongue tie and it has been amazing. Trying to latch involved way too much crying. For the baby and for me.
@Alexandra awww I feel for you on this one❤️

@Caitlin same here, babies just don’t see to care for the bassinet but rather co sleep with mom and dad. Has baby gotten better with bassinet sleeping? We’re currently in the same boat.
@Katie Early congrats! I hope you have a great delivery and recovery!
Just hit 10 days PP and feel like I’ve turned a corner! Sleeping and breastfeeding are a bit better and my c-section pain is getting more manageable
Dealing with a tired, jealous, emotionally disregulated toddler 😫
@Alexis no😭 he was doing good first week home! Then started breaking arms out of swaddle, tried to switch up the swaddle for him, and can’t figure out what he wants now he refuses to even nap on his own let alone sleep on his own at night🥲 barley can put him down anymore, hope it’s short phase
@Caitlin im in the same exact boat! Baby girl broke out the swaddle so we ended up getting her the love to dream swaddle in hopes it would mimic her keeping her hands by her face but nope! I think this phase will pass as they begin to sleep more. At least that’s what I’m hoping 🙏🏾
@Melissa SAME !!!!!!
10 days pp and surprisingly at ease. Healing well, feeling calm collected and confident. Everything is coming naturally. I’m partially waiting for when everything gets more difficult but trying not to dwell on that and just enjoying how it’s going.
@KayLee congratulations to you!! Enjoy enjoy enjoy! I have to tell myself the same thing because the newborn trenches are real and this mom has felt the challenge lol😭 But if things are easygoing for now, don’t worry about how they’ll be when they get hard. I’m personally looking forward to things being a bit easier! But happy postpartum, you got this!!
Recovering quicker than I expected down there but emotionally / mentally I’m still relying on my family big time. Baby was in NICU for 9 days for pneumonia so I had to stay in hotel across hospital parking lot (made eating real meals very challenging & dried up my breast feeding hopes- our second night home counting his respiratory rate I felt so overwhelmed I wanted to cry, run away, hug him, & felt like I was having a heart attack all at the same time. Counting on Pediatrician today to give us some more solid ground to stand on.
Pretty awful lol but trying
