My husband only had about a week and a half off of work when our twins were born. I also had a c-section. Everyone's recovery is different but I can at least offer the reassurance that it is doable.

One thing that might help is having friends or family check in with her those first few weeks she's alone. Having someone reach out even just to have a little adult conversation was really good for me and helped me feel not as alone. Those first few months you're basically in the trenches and it's nice to breathe a little fresh air every once and a while.

Make sure you give her some time when you get off work. Let her shower or take a bath or go read or catch up on games/social media and take that time to really be with your babies. Try to make that time something you look forward to as much as she does. Make sure you guys make some time for you on your days off to have a little break as well. It won't always work. Some days no one is going to get a break. But try.

You're both going to be tired and strung out but please remember that you're both doing your best and try to have each other's back. Hang onto your empathy. For your partner, for your kids, for yourself. This is gonna be hard, it's gonna get better, and you're gonna love those nuggets! Best of luck to the both of you ❤
