I Fear That I Will Never Survive Motherhood

I just had my baby boy on the 5th September by c section and I feel like hell.

Barely can walk because of the pain and am an emotional reck... my hormones are all over the place and I just don't know how I could get through the week. I honestly don't know how other mothers have managed to get through this.

Oh and breastfeeding is another story... I barely have anything ...

To all the mothers out there.. need your advice on how to make it through this without breaking down ...😭

I had two c-sections so I know the pain. It sucks really bad especially when you want and need to take care of your baby but are in that much pain and can hardly lift anything. All you can do about that is wait it out, and don't do more than you have to or you risk making recovery longer. And the hormones.... when your doctor asks how you've been feeling, be honest. I lied and said everything was good and I regret that. Find support online for moms who suffer from post partum depression, even if you don't have it it will help to know you're not alone while your hormones are going crazy. Find moms who are honest and aren't always speaking sunshine and roses about motherhood. It's rough, it's really hard, and it's okay to talk about it.
