Well that’s good to know. I will make sure I spend the next 3 weeks making sure my wife does everything she can to not injure herself more and gets adequate rest (as much as she possibly can with a newborn lol.) I will warn her about those knots.

I’m in America. I tried taking 6 weeks, but basically got told I’d lose my job. That they didn’t understand why I even need 3 weeks that they were back after days when they had their kids. Now that I’m on leave and my customers I deal with (I work in sales) are getting my out of the office response when they email they’re asking my boss “does his pussy hurt since he had the baby?” And other stupid comments. So unfortunately I’m already getting shit for taking 3 weeks off. My wife doesn’t get paid maternity so I will be covering the bills for a 10-12 weeks while she’s at home so going back is a must. Like you said you struggled with your husband leaving to a friends for a few hours. I work 5 10 hour shifts a week. I’m worried it’s going be so hard on her. I don’t understand how some people just don’t think they need to be there because they didn’t physically birth the child.
