Re: Baby 6 days old, need help!
This is my 4 csection-2 were emergency, 2 were planned. This one was planned.
My pain has been worse this time. I stopped taking the Percocet they gave me made him sleepy.
As far as eating, I'm having to remind and make myself eat. I have no appetite at all. I'm taking vitamins and am eating-hopefully it's enough.
He is nursing a lot. At least 12 times. My last two nursed that much also. It always feels like I'm nursing non stop the first month or so. I just remember feeling so full between nursing sessions or having to pump a little in between sessions. My breast doesn't feel much different between sessions.
His urine is back to normal now and he has had two really heavy dirty and wet diapers today plus a small dirty and wet diaper.
I'm just so nervous. It's been 5 years since I've had a baby. Mine always take about two weeks to regain their weight but then gain really fast after that.
He was born at 7.4, discharged at 6.13 and at 4 days old was 6.11
I'm going to get him weighed tomorrow on the same scale he was weighed on at 4 days.
