Still feeling like crap, trying to wean myself off the pain pills. I have had to exclusively pump because he down't latch well at ALL...
I love my little man so much and it's all worth it, but I just wanna cry sometimes I get so frustrated with my body.
Thanks goodness for my amazing hubby who helps so much!
Thanks for listening!
Re: 8 days PP from my C section
Take it slow with the pain meds, I used them for 2 weeks before I cut back to just ibuprofen. I didn't even feel human until 2 weeks out. By 6 weeks out you will be able to do most/all of what you did before. At 8 weeks I felt 100%. Don't think about your body, give it time to repair. The skin will get tighter but it takes a while, don't be too hard on yourself- you just did something amazing!
You chose a great guy! What would we do without them?
PS: Kudos on the pumping! Every drop of that liquid gold is worth it, IMO!
Hi Jenn, I am sorry you are feeling bad. At 8 days PP I still was on pain meds too and I was dealing with a lot of crazy emotions.
I am here if you need to chat. Call me anytime.

It will be 21 days for me tomorrow, and I still have moments where I feel like hell.
I sitll have the headache from my spinal and epidaural attempts and seriously that was 20 days ago.
If you need the pain meds, take them.
Have you talked to a lactation consultant? This is my 3rd EBF baby and I still had to talk to one about a painful latch issue on one side. She helped so much even just on the phone.
thanks ladies I really appreciate the kind words and support.
Oh and Rach... yes we need to get together soon!
