How is everyone doing postpartum? Before and after?

Question

Wondering how you other mama's are healing up post partum. I thought this could be an encouraging time to share our progress and struggles.

Answer

I’m still pregnant…. 🙃

Answer

I’m 3 weeks PP and doing pretty good. I’m not in pain from the c section anymore but the actual incision is tender and hurts a little bit here and there. Mood wise, doing well. I gained 37 lbs and lost 30.5 lbs so far but still swollen from the c section so not loving my body at all but i know it’s going to take time for it to go back to “normal”.

Answer

My some will be 2 weeks tomorrow. So far he is very calm and thriving. I gained 31 lbs total and am down to 115. So I've still got 13lbs to lose to be my prepregnancy weight(I'm very short). Almost done bleeding and stitches for my tear are still noticeable but not too painful. Engorgement from breastfeeding has finally passed too.

Answer

Aubrey will be 4 weeks tomorrow (born 3 weeks and 2 days early). My water broke naturally at home. She is the best baby so far! She is very content and and my 17 month old son is doing great with her. 
I feel 100% back to myself pre-pregnancy. I gained 9lbs total during my pregnancy; which I lost + 7lbs within the first few days after delivery. My bleeding stopped completely about 2 weeks ago. 
So far, so good! I hope the same for you ladies as well!

Answer

I’m 2 weeks postpartum with my third. He was induced at 37+3 while my older two were born around their due dates. He’s smaller than they were so the actual physical recovery has been a breeze compared to my first two (with my first, I had post partum hemorrhage and a post dural headache so that was tough. My second was sunny side up and flipped during pushing so I ended up with a nasty tear and she had a shallow latch so breastfeeding was a challenge) this time, I only had a minor superficial tear and needed two stitches but what’s difficult for me is managing with all 3 of them. My second especially has been pretty clingy and she wants to help with everything (2 nights ago she got the milk bottle from the fridge and was trying to fill up one of the baby’s bottles to feed him 😰) she’s only 4 years old and sometimes she gets in the way but I try my best to include her with things that are age appropriate. The baby has been cluster feeding these 2 days and that’s been a bit exhausting. He poops with every feed so we’re going through a ton of diapers 😅 husband has been helping as much as he can but as he is now back to work, I’ve been dealing with most things during the day. Thankfully they baby is less high maintenance than his siblings when they were his age or else I would’ve been going crazy 😣
