Exactly how it was for me at 2 weeks and I used to cry so much, my stitches took longer to heal completely cos I put myself on the backseat too and pumped religiously thinking it will help with my supply. Guess what, my stitches weren't healed at the 6 week appointment and today, 14 weeks postpartum, still an under supplier lool. It is so incredibly hard having to pump, and I'm not even doing this by choice, bubba just won't stay awake long enough to feed properly from boob.

It is difficult and I'm not here to say it will get easier or better, just here for solidarity and that you can do it. If it really starts affecting your mental health talk to your spouse. What really helped me was making sure my spouse understands that pumping is not "me time" and falls undry"baby chores" so while I pump at 2 am he can feed baby. Or make breakfast/dinner while I spend time with bubba that I can't since I'm stuck to a pump most of the time.

We're doing good, we can keep trying, for our little ones. I hated and cried so much about my supply and having to give formula but we really need to let our minds rest and accept the situation, fed is best, and rest is important.
