Why it’s so important to rest after birth ?

[@AC-jg2dg]

Rest will only happen if you have the right people who care and will help without any judgments or demands.

[@CuriosiPress]

Do not surround yourself with people that do not value you enough ❤

[@temmylolar5153]

It's painful when people around you feel you acting up when you are actually healing and needing help and you end up being all by yourself..😢😢

[@sirajS]

Very true... parents of the woman are those who care without any demands and with true care....❤

[@happyemoji6553]

@@temmylolar5153It’s better to be all by yourself with your baby than be with people who expect you to perform as tho you haven’t just given birth. It’s ok to have dirty house, laundry, dishes and even if you aren’t showering or brushing your teeth as long as you get through the day with you and your baby fed and on bed resting. Your body won’t heal properly if you try to get other people’s approval especially if they don’t care about your well being.

[@spanky5428]

I was just going to say the same exact thing. Even with all the help in the world, if you are breastfeeding you are it. No one can help you there. You are on call 24/7. Not to mention that in America you are expected to bounce back 6 weeks from a vaginal delivery and 8 from a cesarean section. It’s really laughable. Other countries have it much better in that regard.

I know this is true but with the extra hormones, producing milk, and lack of sleep a new mom should never be taking on obligations like cooking for others.

When my mother had me, she said she wasn’t fed well because my father didn’t know how to take care of a woman who gave birth, would cook just dal and so veg fry etc. Then i know this one, my mom gave birth ti my brother and i was 4 years old at that time, she had both of us normall but my brother was born at home under the help of a nurse and neighbors. He was born early morning like 4 am something so when it was morning i went to school and my mother was hungry and my father didn’t cook anything so she had to wake up and cook food that too kneeling down because we didn’t have a table for gas and everything was on the floor. Hearing at stories like this, it hurts cause women needs so much care during the first few weeks post delivery. Tribal people, specially nagas are amazing at taking care of new moms, thankfully i grew up in nagaland and my mom learned so much how taking care of new moms is important so when i give birth next time, i can only trust my mother because i have nobody else.

Noticed this video and it helped put in perspective how many weeks it takes and what my body is going thru at the moment. ( husband works out of state so I feel responsible for everything and worry I’m neglecting too much that needs tended to .. i don’t have family / help but it helps to at least remind myself not to beat myself up about it all and that I’m not a failure to be laying back down right now) God willing some day if my daughters have children I will be there in every way she could want / need to give her the space to enjoy motherhood and rest and heal . I’ll never forget these experiences and hope some day I can gift my daughters with a transformed experience My 5 yr old told me a few weeks ago that when she is pregnant some day she will have a husband who brings her food in bed. It made my heart sad to know she was seeing an example of what she doesn’t want for her future , but it reminded me that some day there will be different experiences and that my daughters will have each other and god willing me too to support their journey thru motherhood and beyond in all the right ways because we are learning so much together now for that future.

[@kimberlylynn4301]

Altho on his days off I should be fair- my husband drives a fair distance here and he does bring me food in bed and especially 3rd trimester I did lay around and he took care of the kids and did the house . I would feel guilty laying there knowing how hard he works and that he will get no rest then drive back and return to work- but I rested for the baby growing in me and for the kids for the remaining week so I’d have more of me for them. But I just realized when he would arrive to bring me food he would sneak it into me to bed so i could eat in peace , and he would do the house after they were asleep for the night so I just realized as per my daughters comment to me about her future husband , that she didn’t actually ever see him doing those things for me. Anyhow wanted to be fair and say that side of it but sharing this comment because I know a lot of moms watch this and automatically think - well I can’t rest I don’t have that luxury. And I understand this , but it helps to hold some self compassion for letting yourself mentally rest when you encounter some of your limitations and are unable to do it all.

Find a job and divorce him. Don't worry about kids, they'll be understanding after growing up. Divorce him as soon as kids enter teen age. and support kids Emotionally. If you are worried about ending up lonely, don't worry you have your kids. Till then become rich as possible as you can.

Same here, first baby born 11/2020. We had a doula come a handful of hours a week, but my poor husband was up with me round the clock, washing pumping stuff. I had an emergency c-section, so I was basically useless other than a cuddly milk cow for 3 months.

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Having a supportive partner or family member is absolutely a blessing. My husband and I made six weeks of freeze-ahead meals this time around, and other church members have been bringing meals as well. He makes sure our older two leave me and the baby alone while we are napping. He got me to the hospital with 15 minutes to spare when my water unexpectedly broke (in bed early in the morning). I was nervous I was going to have to give birth in his Mustang, but he reassured me the whole way, that the roads were clear and that even if I did have to give birth in the car, the seats could be replaced (haha, I think he plans to put lighter seats in anyway). He went home before the baby and I were discharged to clean our bed up, and did the dirty laundry that was in the baskets the day I went in to labor. He has been my biggest help so far, with my mom and my mother in law and our oldest son sick. With my other two births, my mother, mother in law, and my grandma came to help me and let me bond with the babies. This time around it's been only him, aside from the short times where I can help, but he's been doing the majority. Our new baby girl is so sweet and laid back, but wants to marathon nurse a lot so I don't get much else done these days (this is hard for me, I like to have my hands busy) That is to say i don't lay around being waited on hand and foot as that would drive me batty. I do what I'm able to do. He's really been amazing.

I just gave birth to my 6th child about two weeks ago. I only imagine how many other women actually have that physical and emotional support from their significant others, family, in-laws, etc. I had to start doing everything on my own the very next day after being discharged from the hospital. Not to mention I had to stay an extra 3 days in the hospital due to preeclampsia, a uterine rupture, and I apparently seized, coded out twice, and had to get several liters of blood because I lost so much. I am still tired, struggling, in pain, and trying so hard to cope for my little ones even as I write this. It’s definitely hard feeling alone in all of this and nobody really seems to understand. I haven’t even really been able to actually enjoy the pregnancy and having my second daughter. I’m honestly just not joyful rn. But I have to stay strong for my children and shake this postpartum stress and rage. Thank god so many of you have the support that you truly need during the times you need it the most. I applaud your family and loved ones.

My mom always came to stay with us after my husband had to go back to work a week after I gave birth. He cooked, cleaned, did laundry so I could sleep and be with our newborn at the time. He needed to go back to work and she flew in every time (4 kids) she did the same like my husband and she stayed for a week. I would slowly take care of things like dishes but my husband would still cook and do laundry. I miss having a baby in my arms.

If you haven’t read the description, the red circle is representative of the wound where the placenta was previously attached. When the placenta is removed, the wound is left and it bleeds heavily and takes 6-8 weeks to heal! If you had a wound the size of a dinner plate on the outside of your stomach, a wound that is visible and bleeds as heavily, then women would be encouraged to rest, to look after themselves! Many cultures are wonderful at post partum care - however in the West there is an expectation for women to return to normal asap.

He was traveling for close to 2 months and that means I was alone. My mother in law is never the helping type. She cares about everyone else but me. I was all by myself, scared and overwhelmed by being a FTM. So I sent for my friend to come and help me around the house. My Mil developed instant hatred for her. She didn't allow her to touch anything in the house, separated the fridge and cooking. Divided the house into 2. I told my husband about this and he took her aside. I felt so alone but with God I went by. Now my daughter is 7 months and I can die for her.

Good luck telling the newborn baby we should rest. Probably one of the cruelest parts of pregnancy is that you have to go through 9 months of hell, then the trauma of giving birth or having a c-section, only to have to immediately care for a helpless newborn while your recovery takes a backseat. Not enough attention is given to this postpartum period where a lot of women develop depression and lots of other issues as a result.
