C SECTION & BREASTFEEDING

Tonight’s set up... been an emotional wreck the last 6 hrs or so, felt dizzy and strange turns out I lost 900ml of blood in the section - so think my iron levels are low??, I’m feeding so much so calorie intake is down, (little one wants to cluster feed this may be and is for HOURS at a time, she went 4 hrs earlier with a half hour break, then another 2 then break then another 2!!!beyond tired.... I’ve been feeding her now for a good hour and only able to use the one boob still which is now becoming raw. I am so sad - I can’t even sleep because I am in so so so much pain from section - I hate laying down and sitting up is painful enough, 😩 hope this gets easier. I feel so saddened to say that I may have to bottle feed, which breaks me. I have only had 1 hour sleep so far tonight. Hard not being to do much not even lift myself up, so so wish I could have had a natural delivery to not go through coping with this. Sorry this is a sad post, just needing to vent. Partner

is getting a little annoyed at me because I can’t physically sleep and he wants to be better ect. ☹️ xxxxx
