Thanks for this post Hilary. My daughter is due in four weeks with her first baby, our first Grandchild. A boy! I remember how miserable the postpartum time was and I was very teary as well. A very painful overwhelming time. You gave such good advice. I am going to make up a postpartum kit for her with a big dose of TLC to be there for whatever she needs. People forget that the new Mom needs special TLC as well. She has done the hardest job of her life and baby gets all of the attention!

Oh goodness I love these 🙂 For me though I had a emergency c-section. My baby girl said, “heck no, I ain’t leavin’!”. I would not dilate and my water had already broke.

My postpartum was VERY uncomfortable. Thank god for Percocet, my partner and my mom! If you can, please bring in friends or family to take care of things… even the feeding in the night because sleep is a killer. I became very ill due to extreme lack of sleep and dehydration.

Otherwise, like others have said… let it gooooo 🙂

I’m due mid-December with my first, and totally terrified of postpartum recovery – but I’m hoping baby girl + holidays will take my mind off the more terrible bits. A few of these I’d heard before, but I love the elaboration! I definitely prefer knowing all the TMI parts than going in blind.

Great article!
