Any other mamas not feeling good?

Question

Are any other mamas feelin like shit today feeling sick but still have to pretend like they feel perfectly fine & still take care of their babies/kids & clean? Ugh cause that’s how I’m feeling today I seriously feel like absolute shit actually how I’ve been feeling the past few days🤮😭 but my S/O is at work & I have to be a mama & stay strong😞

Answer

I’ve was recovering from a severe uterine infection just after my c-section on top of an aggressive dental abscess that keeps coming back (can not wait for dentists to reopen here!) and giving me headaches. On top of that, my neck and back pain I had during the last couple of months of pregnancy hasn’t gone away as I have to keep picking up and hold my baby to feed him and stuff (husband de-furloughed and back to work). Oh and insomnia since before pregnancy which makes my headaches worse and also hasn’t improved. 
If anyone asks how I am, I tell them. I’m tired, hungry and feel like getting some pliers and ripping the damn tooth out of my head myself. Don’t bottle it up. You don’t have to be perfect. Let it out. Sometimes it helps 👍🏻

Answer

I have an infection in a root canal that the dentist can’t take care of, got a referral to a root canal specialist, and have called about 30 places within the last 2 days - no one can see me before August. The pain is unbearable and I’m eating ibuprofen like smarties just to make it through the day, all while I still have to work full time from home and take care of a 3 year old all by myself. Today at nap time I couldn’t take it anymore, I’m tired because I can’t sleep at night, I’m in so much pain, and I have work everywhere, I just broke down and cried. Thankfully my daughter is an angel and brought me a blanket, an ice pack, and just hugged me tight until we both feel asleep. 
But this too shall pass, there will be better days ❣️
