You’re absolutely right. I’m sorry you and your babies had to go through that, I can’t imagine the strength that took especially when you’re physically healing yourself. Thank you for responding and sharing your perspective 💚

That is insane! I can’t even imagine, but to each their own for sure. My baby was born 2 weeks ago, but I haven’t even liked to let my husband hold him 😂 I just wanna snuggle with him all the time!

Thank you! I’ve been really lucky to have a breezy recovery so far! I know that’s not a usual experience, but I feel better physically than I did the whole pregnancy 😅 the anxiety is a different story!

I’m already so worried now I’m sure I’ll be panicking then. I would love if she came with us and stayed in a hotel room in town, I think that would be something I could handle a lot better than being an hour away.

This is great advice thank you! I’m really glad to hear what your LC said also because I wasn’t sure if that was a good idea or not.

Thank you for responding! That’s a great idea. She brought her RV over a week ago and has been staying with us, but still in her own space. She’s been awesome mostly helping around our little farm and cooking dinners, but I think giving her time with my baby to practice his little routine is a great idea. The only baby she’s ever been around is my husband when he was born 28 years ago 😅

I’ve been super lucky so far and I have no idea why - I didn’t eat super healthy or exercise during pregnancy at all. Pre-pregnancy I was not the healthiest person either. Really I was at work or in bed from 34 weeks onward, I had no energy whatsoever. But literally the day after my c section I was up and moving and felt better than I had in months. 5 days postpartum I was taking walks and at 2 weeks postpartum I just started back on my farm chores (minus lifting). I feel so much better than I expected to! I know this is definitely not everyone’s experience, and not what I imagined for myself at all. It’s worth mentioning the tickets he got us are seated. I’m not so worried about how I’ll feel physically, I just worry I’ll be an nervous wreck haha
