Once upon a time I wouldn't have understood feeling at the end of having babies. I don't think I'm there yet, but I can understand a lot better being at that point. My longest break has been 14 months since 2012 and I'm starting to really feel the effects. I'm working hard to get everything back healthy and in shape, but it's taking longer than it did and I feel pretty worn at times too.
Yes, I'm grateful there are some years left so if there does have to be a break, at least there is time for it without saying we have to stop now.
I enjoy our conversations too. You're on my mind, you and Little Princess.
That’s really good you are trying to get everything ready and healthy. You definitely are going to need that.
It’s so different the older we get. Like normally I’m back on my feet within a few days after giving birth. This time...haaaa oh no, I’m out! I am so broken inside and bruised and sore that I know it’s gonna take me a few weeks to heal this round . Of course most of it being I pushed a 9 pound baby through the birth canal and she was posterior for most of the labor which caused major back pains that I am still feeling.
Thanks for thinking of us~ 💕
I missed the birth announcement!!!!!!! I'm going to find it now, but Congratulations!!!
It's funny how different each birth is, too. Elaina - two babies ago - was just a rough birth for whatever reason and it took me several weeks to get back on my feet. Then Daniel came, he was bigger, he was late, I was older...and I felt great after his birth.
Now, Elaina was posterior...hm. Maybe that's the key. Yeah, my back hurt for several days afterward.
Thank you!
Yes it’s like you never know what to except with each one. Wow that’s something how he was bigger and late but it was easier for you.
Yes I believe the posterior issue has a huge effect. I have never had back pains like that before and I have never felt so “broken”. I feel like if I move the wrong way my hips will break. That and pushing for over an hour just tour me up! 😳 Every time I thought it was over my midwife would say “she’s almost here”...I’m like “she’s not here yet?” 😩😩😩 lol
