Re: Postpartum recovery

  • I'm a week and 2 days PP I feel my best right now, but yesterday I had heavy bleeding which is a sign to slowdown. The first 5 days were the most rough for me. It's rough with chores and things to be cleaned stacking up around me while DH is at work, I want to clean everything! I'm taking advantage of the newborn snuggles, feedings, and diaper changes. But I am certainly getting antsy. Pinterest is my savior, and since it's October I'm indulging in halloween themed episodes of my favorite shows , and movies :)

  • DH was home all week and I think that's made me keep busier then normal. Im looking forward to him being back to work next week as much as Im not. I am going to make myself quite comfortable this week.
  • I'm 2+ weeks and my body is still so tired. My legs feel wrecked and I'm assuming it's just a combination of fatigue and whatever hormones are streaming through my body.
  • I'm 3 days PP and my body hurts and aches so bad all over. I also got second degree tears and nasty hemorrhoids from the delivery so I'm a mess down there and even sitting is so painful but I have to sit to feed. Sigh. I'm sure it should get much better in a week or two. At least I hope it does
  • I'm 2 weeks out and my lady bits feel more swollen now than before. Maybe it's because I'm off my pain meds so I feel it all. I keep waiting for my stitches to itch but that hasn't happened yet thank goodness. I am just ready to be normal again. This giving birth thing was rough! No one tells you the awful stuff.
  • I unfortunately tore in 3 different spots but almost all of my pain comes from the first degree burns I have on my lady bits from using Always pads! I have a latex allergy and the packaging failed to say that they contain latex so on top of healing from delivery I'm also trying to heal these burns :( note to anyone with a latex allergy!!!
