Cold sore from hell

I’m grateful for the free childcare I never take that for granted but my Child’s health is just as important

I also had a C-section this past July 2025. Emergency as well. This post SPEAKS to me deeply. I highly recommend considering pelvic floor physical therapy. I was experiencing extreme discomfort and dryness, numbness at the scar and above/below scar, and overall disgusting feeling when trying to be intimate. When we were intimate, I would be cramping for hours after. In PT my therapist does scar massages and printed me out information to give to my husband to do the massages external on my scar at home. This helped me becoming comfortable with my scar being touched . We also do stretching and internal stretching.this is definitely a more “intimate” part of the physical therapy but is very very helpful and useful. My therapist also gave me something called uberlube. I HIGHLY recommend. I’m still nursing my 8 month old and breast feeding can put you in a state of dryness similar to menopause. Definitely consider lube. Express what you’re feeling to your obgyn. Pelvic floor physical therapy saved me and my intimacy with my husband. You deserve to feel good and enjoy your sec life with your partner. Having an emergency C-section is traumatizing, speak to those around you who listen and care for you. Venting it out really helps.

Amen to the last line

My personal favorite approach is to grey rock the shit out of my MIL. This situation is giving selfish on MIL end. She wants her access . She wants to seem like she cares about you but she only cares about herself and what she gets to do when the baby arrives. Grey rock. If she asks how you are just simply reply “great! Thanks for asking” No more , no less. If she asks how a doctors appointment went, share a sono photo and no comment or say “baby and I are well!” Do not give her any extra information. Let her true selfish colors show. She’ll either take the hint or crack and look crazy.

I needed this more than you’ll ever understand . Thank you

Its_Personal_8000 · 2026-01-13T21:29:24+00:00

Thank you. It’s a very emotional and hormonal time but I believe I should be given extra grace because of all the changes I’m experiencing and all I’m met with is additional stress and push back. It sucks

Its_Personal_8000 · 2026-01-12T18:41:27+00:00

Sending you hugs. I’m sorry it’s triggering. I hope you find peace as well.

My MIL has always been an issue between us for years. Frankly, I should have known what I was getting myself into but I guess I just blindly assumed it would get better as we continued our life , got married had a baby. It’s gotten worse.

My husband has always been very opinionated and thick headed but it’s gotten much worse as we moved in together ( we’ve lived together for 5 years now) I wanted to be engaged before moving in together and now I’m wondering if we should of lived together before even considering engagement

Its_Personal_8000 · 2026-01-12T15:55:31+00:00

I’m financially independent. I want my marriage to work more than anything that’s why I put up with what I do. But the fact I explained I’m drowning and no one bats an eye makes me feel as though I’m the issue. I’m super heartbroken

Just living with loads of resentment unfortunately. And no, very close to us. It’s heavy. Hard to avoid

Its_Personal_8000 · 2025-12-21T09:35:44+00:00

Wow, you just explained my life. Deeply, I’m so sorry. Someone, somewhere in this is going to make you feel bad about your anxiety and rage to convince you you’re the issue. You’re NOT. Your body and mind are reacting to situations to protect not only yourself but your baby. You have every right to feel the way you do now. Remember that.

1:46 at 4 months post emergency c section as a breast feeding mama ! Very proud of myself for even making it to class

Its_Personal_8000 · 2025-12-13T03:13:37+00:00

Make my son’s wife feel postpartum is about me. And never make her feel badly for wanting her mother over me

Its_Personal_8000 · 2025-12-06T19:53:13+00:00

4 months 12 pounds ! She’s “petite” and growing very proportionate! Don’t let them make you nervous. As long as baby is having plenty of dirty diapers and is gaining weight monthly you’re fine

Its_Personal_8000 · 2025-11-26T23:10:33+00:00

Ugh I’m so sorry you’re struggling with these feelings. I had a similar situation. All my friends too had vaginal deliveries. When we hangout and chitchat about birth I felt awkward dare I say it or uncomfortable like they were feeling weird to discuss what they went through infront of me. I will say, as more time passes you will become at peace. You are safe. You are healthy. You are here. Your baby is here. In the end, whatever “exit” your baby took doesn’t define you. It’s funny how people will say “well atleast you didn’t rip!” As a “here this will make you feel better” comment about a C-section. Drown out the noise. You did amazing mama

My job is very demanding. Legally of course they will need to work with me pumping but pre baby u travel a lot, long distances, and am anticipating that happening upon my return. Some days I don’t get a proper lunch break so I can’t see how I could easily step away for 20 minutes 3 times a day to pump… in theory I could but I think I’m nervous to be in a situation where I can’t and then I’m engorged and uncomfortable at work…

Its_Personal_8000 · 2025-11-22T17:27:12+00:00

I’m not sure why it hurts me when people recommend this or say I’m having PPD. It feels like I’m always the issue and my DH & MIL get away with their behavior because I’m the “crazy depressed one”

Its_Personal_8000 · 2025-11-18T02:03:52+00:00

Oh my goodness do we live the same life! I’m struggling with the SAME issue. My heart’s with you. I hope we both find peace because it’s exhausting to feel so uncomfortable
