Struggling
So let me start off by saying the last month of my pregnancy I had high blood pressure which ended with my son being 2 weeks early and me with preeclampsia. Anyone who has had preeclampsia knows that it’s a scary feeling and at the hospital you have to be put on magnesium to prevent seizures and you have to be put on it until 24 hours after you birth. Along with that I was also induced which I didn’t want to be but it was for our safety. The epidural didn’t go well, I had multiple really big blood clots that scared me to death, I also had carpal tunnel with my pregnancy and had bad back pain that I had to go to a chiropractor for. Anyways it’s just been a lot the past month and a half. I also was planning to breastfeed and that didn’t go well either. The day after we got home from the hospital I felt very sick, like I had the flu, come to find out it was mastitis. Which was extremely painful. So on top of having a newborn, a not even 2 year old (who was way off bc we were gone for a few days and new baby) and trying to heal from birth I get this infection. At this point I’m sore from birth, my back hurts so bad I can barely walk, I have mastitis, my fingertips are tingling and numb from carpal tunnel etc....so my son is now 4 weeks and I was just feeling back to normal and then guess what....now I have COVID! I can’t handle much more I just want to be/feel normal and live my life. I was just feeling better emotionally and now I’m depressed again. I can’t bond and enjoy my newborn baby because I’m to worried to hold him to much in fear he will catch the virus. I feel aweful, I don’t even k know how I got it, I’m a stay at home mom if 2 under 2 I don’t go anywhere and when I did I had a mask on and I used germ x like crazy. To say I’m struggling is a understatement at this point. 😞😞😞 Life needs to seriously give me a break, I want to enjoy my kids!
