What was the hardest week of the 4th trimester?

Question

In your opinion what was the toughest week of the 4th trimester?
(The first six weeks after baby is born) 
In my opinion it's a tough call between the first and week three. I'm so tired!  😩

Answer

Week 1-2 basically. For me it's the hardest because I'm still healing and with having other kids it's hard. Right now I'm only 3 days pp and it's definitely hard this time around because I have a 10mo old who wants me all the time, I'm trying to breastfeed newborn, and having stitches down there is no fun. I just can't wait to heal completely and get this party started lol.

Answer

Week 3 was really hard. Cluster feeding day and night!

Answer

Week 5, no doubt. He got so fussy, me letdown was out of control and sleeping was a mess. So much better from there on out.

Answer

This makes me feel so much better. My LO will be 4 weeks tomorrow and I feel like the past week and half have been crazy. She's been fighting sleep, only sleeping 1-3 hours mostly 1 hour at a time..and eating all the time. Also think witching hour kicked in; and she will stay up and fuss and feed for 4-5 hours straight. Looking forward to 6-8 weeks because I hear it gets better..dear lord I hope it gets better 😓

Answer

Answer

Week 3! 😭think he was gong through a growth spurt so he was just really fussy. Thank God we're past that! But still some days are hard like this morning and some are great like the day before yesterday. Surpringly I'm ok with everything. The only that I have a hard time with is when he cries in the morning and wants to feed. Anytime after the sun rises and I'm just 😭😫🙄😒 lol drives me nuts. I'm even ok with feeding/changing diapers at night! So weird 😂😫

Answer

For me it was the 2nd & 3rd week. Emotions were all over the place, baby was eating every hour or two so I wasn't sleeping and breastfeeding was so painful I cried almost every time I fed him. After the 4th week, everything including my nipples started to go back to normal.

Answer

Week 3 definitely. The crying started (A LOT of crying), the cluster feeding, never wanting to be put down, would no longer sleep anywhere (used to go right down in the crib, then hated it). But it's so worth it. Also, the first week I had my mom and grandmother there to help.
