Really not coping right now.

[zorak]

I am so so fed up.

I had bambino 2 about 24 days ago via a v traumatic crash c section due to a failed vbac. It took me a week to stop crying every time I thought of it.

Then ten days post partum I developed full body hives after taking an allergic reaction to some Chinese food. Nursing through that was a nightmare.

Now I have developed mastitas and am in absolute agony.

Added to that we are supposed to be moving back to the UK from the USA in late August for a new job for my husband but it has completely fallen through due to investor problems.

I just want to be near family right now . my husband has had to take loads of time off work to look after me but he can't keep doing that.

No advice but wanted to send love and hugs! Hope things start looking up

When it rains it pours!!! We all have those days (or weeks). Big hugs and I hope everything works out soon!

Thanks, I had a good cry this afternoon and have given myself a shake. Feeling a bit better now, well apart from the painful boobies.

Mastitis is horrific it completely saps your energy no wonder you are finding it hard.

Look after yourself get yourself feeling better physically and hopefully you'll have more energy to get through these hard times.

Oh no big hugs, just think it WILL get better the first few weeks are hard, i had a section 3.5 weeks ago and had emotional days as im just so tired so i cant imagine how you must feel x

Aw sweetheart, I want to just be there and give you the biggest possible. I remember how traumatic my EMCS was, and it was not a crash section just a failed induction. I still cried when I thought about it at my son's 2nd birthday, but it gets to be less and less frequent. It is okay and normal to feel sad about it.

Thanks I'm feeling better now that the mastitas is finally clearing. At least with our move home, we have our parents to rely on for a bit until we get sorted.

If you'd like to read the birth story its on one of my threads called 'prolonged early labour...:

Oh my gosh, I wish I was there to help you out.

Sending prayers your way that everything turns out for the best with your move and that you can get through all the agony that you are in.

Wish there was something I could do....
