due to the dfficult birth of my daughter i have ben advised to have a c-section with the birth of this baby (due in June) Thing is I'm worried about the recovery time, what I can, cannot do. i don't have a mother/sister i can call upon to help with my soon-to-be two year old, and though my dh gets 10 days paternity leave I'm worried that this won't be enough.
what will I be able to do realistically after a c-section. is it true that I can't even pick up the baby. How long will it be before I'll be able to manage them both by myself without being in fear of stitches splitting etc etc. Any one got any recommendations for doulas, temporary help etc..
Thank you
