I’m a week in, have had 3 normal births, no stitches or anything, ended up having an emergency c section with this one 😫 so been very different for me regarding recovery, used to being bk on my feet straight away, this videos been really helpful, I thjnk I’m coping ok, but know not to fool myself and am also setting my alarm for painkillers to keep on top of it. It’s been a crazy month for us, my daughter was also pregnant, had her baby 4 weeks before me and ended up having a C-section, so iv had her to ask for tips aswel, couldn’t write how this year has been for us both, but babies are here safely so all worth it 💗💙

Can I ask as I've not seen many stories about people who have a larger family. I have a clingy 5 years old how can u cope with the pain with the kids that need your attention etc. I have a planned c section next month and I am petrified about how ill cope with it all xxx😊

I just had a c section on June 14,2024. I was scared because I don’t know what to expect. It’s very hard to get in bed and out of bed. Breastfeeding is hard because the abdominal is so painful. I do side line breastfeeding but my son is having hard time latching on. My Dr. advice that I need a c section because he was big and broad shoulders blade. I don’t have no choice did it. I was scared and trembling. It was a choice for a safety delivery from me and baby.

Ladies - get prunes to prevent or treat constipation - highly recommending the M & S ones. Best wishes to all.

[@missmollyann1]

Yes great idea! Or the prune pouches in the baby aisle. Squeeze it in porridge xxx
