C section 17 days ago. So 2.5 weeks
And i feel like its 2 steps forward 1 step back.
Last week my bleeding slowed but now its back to the point where im in the BIG MAMA SUPER DOOPER PADS lol. Ive been trying to walk and get moving this week (due to the lecture i had from the surgeon about my weight.. literally hours after i had the baby) but walking seems to prompt cramping and pelvic/hip pain.
My bowels are still no where near back to normal. ( sorry TMI Diahrrea). Im still puffy and swollen, my lower abdomen is still hard and firm, still struggling to bend certain ways....(which is causing certain....issues.... wiping on the toilet.. AGAIN TMI SORRY)
Like NOTHING feels like its improving...maybe the appearance of my scar.. I thought/hoped at least ONE thing would improve by now.
Now im ABSOLUTELY NOT asking to fit into my pre pregnancy clothes, im not asking for weight loss, im not asking to LOOK back to normal; i just want to HEAL. And it feels like my body is taking its sweet ass time! Lol
Any one got any similar experiences? Am i asking for too much too soon? Is it possible to take a step back in recovery ?
