We need to think of something and get in on that market... 24/7 hot cookies and milk delivery?

Definitely glad to already have the Miracle Blanket around this time around

Thank you. My Mum gave me a couple of books on childbirth and the first month after, one is for C section and the other for natural. I can't bring myself to read them yet. Maybe later.

Honestly, the *only* good thing about having a c-section was that people didn't expect me to do as much. DH has been AWESOME. He still cooks dinner every night, and works from home as much as possible.

Okay, am I the only one not familiar with the miracle blanket? Off to Google... Ah, I see now. The one I want is out of stock, but I have plenty of time. I am definitely going to order one!

That was an awesome post, Candice! I think women forget that recovery does not end when you leave the hospital. It's so, so important to have plans in place to allow yourself to recover after going home. I'll have my mom around the do the cooking, and my husband around to take care of me. Something along those lines is ideal, IMO (if your mom drives you crazy, maybe another female relative or friend ). Oh, and I really discourage...

I wish I knew then what I know now. I think my experience with Cameron would have been much more positive. Everyone treated me like you were Candice.

WOW. This hit me like a ton of bricks! I didn't do any of this stuff! I was up and walking around and cleaning and changing diapers and seeing visitors! No wonder I felt so crappy! The pressure to "get back to normal" was coming from just about everywhere, especially from within. I didn't quite realize how much recovery I'd need.
