I am alive! Just over 2wks into newborn life 💗. How is everyone?

[Fudge1980]

how is everyone???

Where you all upto?

Have any questions for me? About a section or anything you want to know?!?!

We had a hospital stay in her first week due to jaundice so she had time under the lights.

I had a blood clot scare so I was also treated.

Feel like we are just settling into the swing now. She’s amazing and we are super blessed with a very placid baby 💗. Feeds 3-4hrs mostly and is a little gem at night 🤞🏼😍

Hi!!! Wow, busy first week, huh? She looks so happy 😁. I’ll take you up on the offer of Qs about the C-section!How do you feel after the c-section? Are you having to take painkillers regularly? Can you move around ok or did you have to take it easy and rest in bed for a few days? Can you lie down in any position with the stitches (back, side, stomach)? Thanks in advance!

[Fudge1980 in reply to Sunflower35]

Hey 💗 C section is very hard for I’d say the first week!

Take the strong pain killers religiously

You will pottering about within about 8hrs after but take it very easy. Try stand up straight.

A little potter about every few hours is good for you! Keep moving.

Keep your feet up to stop the swelling (I suffered very bad)

I will be honest there isn’t a comfortable position to sleep for about a week. Unless you have a recliner chair (ours came late)

The wound isn’t the issue at all it’s all the internal stuff going on.

Take the senna (double dose it) the very first night after section

I was feeling ok enough to go for a walk this last few days.

Remember to take all the help you can get and don’t be hard on yourself it’s much harder than anyone says.

Don’t be afraid to ring the midwife if you need reassurance 💗

You will be ok through and when you gaze in babies eyes it’s so so worth all the pain xx

[Bozo_the_pumpkin]

Aw bless her - she is absolutely gorgeous! We’re just muddling through this heat wave day by day but otherwise things are good. My breast milk is a bit slow at the moment but pumping loads to increase the supply. Fudge you were right- the c-section was a doddle… although not so the canula’s!😭

[Fudge1980 in reply to Bozo_the_pumpkin]

Aww the heat is awful for them 🥴 we’ve struggled a bit today with her being unsettled but otherwise she’s good. Are you doing ok? It’s not easy recovering and learning to breastfeed. I did almost 5days but I just couldn’t with the pain from the section. Then ended up in hospital. Plus little one was working so hard to get anything it was frustrating for both of us.

Take it easy and praying this heat settles down xx 😘

[Hidden]

Fantastic Fudge!! She’s gorgeous! Congratulations 🥳 😍If you find things change and you’re finding it a struggle feel free to DM me… I’m at 9 weeks now and definitely now in a rhythm.

[Cinderella5]

Congrats fudge, she is beautiful!🥰🤩xx

[Jjleo]

Huge congratulations to you! My twins are now 8 weeks they are amazing however most definitely a handful lol! Both me and my partner are in the police and work shifts the night feeds on my own when he is nights is definitely hard lol especially when they decide theu don't want to wake up the same time all worth it though and we wouldn't change a single thing 😍

Make sure you don't do too much following your csection as at 2 weeks I was up and down the attic etc jumping off multiple stairs (pissing around with my older son oops lol) i used to drive my partner crazy haha "you need to take it easy! You had major abdominal surgery X weeks ago". I am too stubborn to listen lol I noticed at around 3 weeks a little tiny section of my wound seemed like it was a little apart and a bit weepy. I went to the doctors and they told me to chill out lol no infection luckily and I healed fine I was worried ir was all going to open up! Not good I was ok though just dont make the same mistake as me 🙈
