To my c section girls !

I’ve been wanting to write something for a while about this. I am ten weeks PP today! I MADE IT !

To the women who are here with me, 10 weeks PP, congrats we made it, I hope your healing process went well!

To the women just having c sections today or this past week, I PROMISE you, the pain and the feeling that you are useless because of the pain, will go away!!! You will be able to care for yourself and your baby, even if right now you feel like you can’t. Take that shower, get out of that bed, walk those hallways, you can do it !!! I hope you are being well taken care of!

To the women who are experiencing post partum depression or anxiety, you are not alone! I called my doctor after about a week of being home. I couldn’t look at my baby without screaming crying because she’s so beautiful, I laid awake all night holding her hands and sobbing. I couldn’t watch police shows or scary movies, which are my favorite. My chest felt like it was so tight I was going to die. Something was wrong and ya know what? My doctor got me in instantly. She gave me something for anxiety, and when that didn’t really work, she gave me something that did work. She called me everyday to check on me, and saw me once a week. Don’t feel like you have to push through it alone!

To the women who had c sections and are 2-3 weeks PP, you will be able to sleep in your bed again if you haven’t. I know sleeping in a recliner is the most “comfortable spot”, at least it was for me. I actually cried the first night I got back into my bed. I had to sit up like I was in a recliner but OMG it felt so good! AND you will be able to sleep on your side/ stomach again, I promise !!!! Take a shower! It feels so good! Take it easy momma! By this point your probably seasoned super hero at this mom thing 💗

To the women 1 month PP, I was finally starting to eat normal. Finally starting to feel semi normal and starting to act normal! I started leaving the house, going to family and friends houses and having people over to my house. I couldn’t stand people touching my baby(other than direct family) because of sicknesses going around ! My baby caught a cold at one month and it was horrible ! I was recovering still and now dealing with my poor baby with a stuffy nose. My pediatrician recommended saline spray, sitting her in the bathroom with the shower on hot for the steam, and a nose Frida to get the snot out!!! Worked AMAZING I will keep it on hand always! If you’re not comfortable with people holding your baby, don’t let them!!! It was hard telling my family they couldn’t come over but its really too risky especially during the winter. My pediatrician recommended 6 weeks for visitors 😄

( oh and that feeling that your stomach has a rug burn on it, I don’t think it goes away 😅😅🤔🤔)

To the women 2 months PP. WE DID IT ! I don’t know about you guys but how did we make it here ????? First time moms ???? Are you celebrating with me ???? I honestly felt like I would never get into the swing of a newborn but i did !!! I hope you all did too. I hope you’re all getting breaks when you need them, DATE NIGHT when you need them and SLEEP when you need it!!! I know I thank God every day for the amazing life I have. If you asked me a month or so ago, I would’ve told you I couldn’t do it. I was so tired, so EXHAUSTED, so stressed and so confused about my life. But here we all are killin it ! You go girls !

Have a great week everybody, I know I will! Going back to work Monday FINALLY ! Woooooo

Oh and here’s a pic of my war wounds !!!
