Hi all,
Just wondering if I am not on my own here and what I can do...had my 2nd c section 9 weeks ago.
Recovery seems to be taking ages and my tummy is still really tender to touch. I’ve had infection after infection since DD was born : urine infection following catheta, eye infection, infection in my wound and suspected infection in my uterus (was tender to touch at 6 weeks and still bleeding), chest infection before Christmas (which I think most of UK have had!) and after having 1 normal week, the chest infection is back and I feel awful.
I’m breastfeeding and have a 5 year old. Hubby was made redundant before Christmas so is doing a lot of running around allowing me to rest.
I just feel really run down and as if my body is unable to fight anything.
The GP did some bloods and all were fine except the Liver Function Test which they want me to repeat in 4 weeks time.
After my son, I felt great by 6 weeks and was off doing baby classes etc and bless her, DD just gets passed around while I cough and splutter.
I wondered if anyone else is feeling like they have taken a battering?
I really want to just be up and about getting on with things.
I also wondered if anyone knows if you can take metatone while BF?
Obviously wouldn’t wish for anyone to feel like this but I wonder if any other c section mums are struggling second time round? xxx
