I wish i knew more about how i'd feel this first week postpartum. really i educated myself so much about on pregnancy and labor and now both are down and i'm on the other side, with no idea of anything.
I went to the ER yesterday morning because I though my stitches were infected and they were. Let me tell you having an internal exam 5 days PP is no fun, i imagine it was also more invasive than a normal check cuz she was making sure there was nothing left inside of me (!!!!!) and some other stuff. I cried and shook the entire time.
Also I had to leave my daughter at home while at the hosptial because theres an outbreak of Gastro and while I *could* bring her at 4 days old i'm just not willing to take that risk with her. I had NO IDEA how much i would miss her and how my body would ache for her.
I also had no idea how much of a sobbing leaking blob i'd become when i my boobs got engorged and how I feel that my boobs now take over my body.
On a better note i'm taking the antibiotics and i am able to sit for short periods of time on the bed, still no luck on a chair. But its nice to be able to hold Eden instead of just fawning over her while we lay side by side.
i just want cant wait to be feeling good enough to go for a walk.

Please get on some probiotics as soon as you can now that you're taking abx. You don't want thrush or worse.
mama! I don't know what to expect as i PLAN a VBAC and only had the c-s. i'm a little nervous! Thank you for sharing and i hope you feel better soon.
