Share you postpartum experience?

Question

Long shot but can anyone share their postpartum experience? Like after baby was born, what happened with your body... How was it at home healing? Issues etc.. thanks! Curious and worried about it.

Answer

I'm still pregnant with my secong girl but with my first it was a csection, everything was great at the hospital, but its a different story when you go home! I had pretty bad baby blues, I was great during the day but at night I just wanted my husband to hug me while I cried like crazy! I felt like that for 2 weeks, its a 360° change in your life you'll have so many emotions at the same time! Also the first week or two of breastfeeding were hell! You are pretty much a zombie with leaking boobs! I lost all the pregnancy weight in about a week, it was just my belly that looked weird, dark and loose! And with a huge scar, but it went back to normal after a few weeks! I also got stretchmarks after I had my baby! So keep on using your lotions and oils!

Answer

I had my c-section on 9/5 of last month and by the next day i was walking to see my son who was in the NICU that time, the very next day was the hardest, getting out of the bed and trying to walk was painful and engorge breast made it more harder 😢 but the more i walk the better and the more i pump i felt better, i took ibuprofen for 6 days only and stopped cuz i was feeling okay without the need of it, didn’t take stool softeners only when i was in the hospital cuz i had severe diarhea (TMI) since i was on liquid diet so it made it worst lol... i had to beg to be put on regular diet cuz i was so starving 😂 1 month postpartum and we’re doing okay, i still exclusively pump for my son and we’re both doing good.
