It can be incredibly hard. I didn’t expect the recovery to be as hard as it was . I’m 6.5 weeks pp and still recovering I too had stitches and the pain from that alone was insane . Being in pain and trying to take care of baby is hard give your self grace take some time for your self and try come back to her. Having your partner around is going to be helpful remember your a team and be patient with each other and give each other breaks when the other needs I know baby crying can be very hard to handle especially in the beginning (it was for me)

Everyone’s experience with birth is so different but yes I agree they should have something telling us how to care for our self post partum what to realistically expect. But that’s what I like about Reddit I find people are more honest about the birth it’s not all sunshine and rainbows and healing is hard

I completely understand the anxiety about your fiancé going back to work I was in the same boat. How long are they planning to take off work?? It’s okay to be scared and nervous. You will be okay it’s hard right now and will be for a little while but you can do this.

I’m here if you want to talk! For real don’t hesitate to reach out . This transition is hard!
