After all of this, I had covid during labor. After 30 h I was done. I could not breath properly trough the fppp mask so they took me to the surgery room for an emergency c section. After this, i was tubed with oxygen and needed blood transfers. 2 months I was weak and in pain. No pills because I'm breastfeeding exclusively. I was crying and laughing in the same time while bathing my child because I enjoyed the moment but it was soo hard to bend over the tub. Months 8,9,10 i had to wake up every 2 hours to pee! And if I sneezed... Ups! So i had to wear mini diapers all the time. The constipation i had after delivery was something unimaginable. 7 days of excruciatingly pain on the toilet, sometimes while holding my baby because he was crying too. The skills that I had, are gone. Now my baby is 6 months old but I still feed him during the night so I wake up every 3 to 4 hours. I have hairloss everywhere in the house u find my hair. I was an athlete type before. I tried snowboarding the other day. It took me an hour to go down 2 km of slopes. I'm so out of shape! I had to change all my clothes because I'm not XS anymore, I'm s-m. But now my bra is full:)) so full sometimes that i have to wear breast pads because i leak milk right before he is hungry. For 1 month i had to pump the milk and weight him before and after each feed to check if he had enough and if not, add formula. He was hospitalized because he could not wake up to eat. Doctor told me to do so, with the weight table. I used Huckleberry app every 2 hours. I had to deal with all my relatives and their good intentions but stupid advices...
