I wanna scream

[abwa967897]

I had a c section 2 weeks ago. I rang my mum today to see if she would be able to drive me and my baby to the hospital next week for an appointment. As baby keeps losing weight and she hasnt put much on. She literally be little and degraded me. She told me i would be fine, to stop milking it, to work through the soreness and the pain and to grow some balls and drive myself.

Im literally heartbroken because im not faking pain its too real to fake. Im in such agony. I felt completely humiliated

Dont know what i want from this particular post iust so hurt and upset and wanted somewhere to rant😢.

Jesus. She sounds awful.
Is she usually so unsympathetic and unsupportive?
Send her a link to the advice which says not to drive until 6 weeks.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby, I hope you have other family/friends who are more supportive

Yea she is. Always like this but it just got me a little different this time i dont know why.

And thankyou and no just my mum. But clearly she doesnt want to help me either :(

So sorry you have such little support. Maybe there is a support group near you?
