My daughter (my 4th child) is 21 days old. I'm feeling absolutely shattered.

I had an emergency c section which went well but since then it's been non stop for me. Since having my daughter I haven't been able to relax or heal as I should. Although I'm healing well according to midwife and hv. I'm just drained. Came out of hospital on 2nd December, by the Monday I was doing school run( had no choice as hubby was on night shifts from the Saturday and couldn't get paternity leave as its a new job and in probation).its been like this since ive had baby. Hubby goes to work at jight cones home sleeps and then off to work again . luckily my eldest daughters 15 and 9 have been a big help when my son who is only 2 needs my attention whilst I'm dealing with baby. I do feel for my hubby as its alot of night shifts he is doing but his boss is a right arse hole.

I've noticed my son has become soo clingy since having baby which isn't great however I try to get him to help when I'm dealing with baby I.e getting nappy for baby and wipes .

How has everyone else been feeling?

I'm not surprised you're feeling tired.

Have you had your iron levels checked @jadey1991? Do you think you could be anaemic after the EMCS?

And does DH have any time off over Christmas?
