Dam auto correct. I meant to say how long to wear off and heal properly
It took about 3 weeks to be able to move without pain. But a few months to heal completely because I did to much lifting. everyone is different so try and give yourself time and rest.
I feel so useless. My partner only gets 2 weeks off how am I going to get things done when he goes back.
Do you have anyone that you can ask to help?
What helped me was taking my time doing things, taking my meds, I slept in a lazy boy recliner so I didn't have to strain to get up from bed, and I had a bassinet with wheels so I could push my son around the house as I needed to instead of lifting him. I walked to keep active but not too much to overdo it.my husband cooked, cleaned,and helped as much as he could when he got home. So that really helped. Eventually I was able to do more as I healed and found a routine. Hope this helps! Just remember it gets better with time.
My partner has been brilliant, bless him. Hes so good with baby jack. Will be a week old tomorrow. I'm healing well. Hardly any belly pain now. Just boobs been engorged for a couple of days and had a sore nipple as he wasn't latching well on 1 side but even thats better than earlier today. Just been pottering about doing a little bit of washing up and washing.
