How I feel (Overall): As expected, I'm feeling better with each passing week. That said my little pooch is still there albeit flattening out, slowly but surely.
I can't wait till my 6 week post natal checkup with kamaljit. Pretty sure I'd be able to start exercising afte that!
Pain areas: The incision itself I believe is almost fully healed. The occasional pain I feel is from the inside which I believe is from the inner wound.
A new pain area would be my back and hips - from carrying AJ all day! He's getting heavier and my arms are not getting proportionately stronger to support that, in fact my wrists started aching last week and sometimes I wake up from my nap feeling my someone has taken a hammer and smashed my wrists. Yeah it's that bad. I hope this subsides eventually as they get used to all the carrying.
Back and hips hurt due to my scoliosis. Carrying him on one side of my shoulder creates an imbalance in these areas - a circumstance that definitely doesn't help my current situation! Gotta get that Moby wrap, apparently it evenly distributes the weight of the baby across both shoulders thereby causing less impact on the back and hips. Anywho we shall see about that - might even do a review on it!
How I coped: I've started going out & regaining some normalcy of my life - meeting my dearest colleague and friend Gladys for breakfast at our usual hot spot below the office - Grab.
And to be honest I feel like these are much needed breaks from the repetitive baby schedule I'm on otherwise.
I'm very grateful mum is around to allow me to do this - however I do still have a 2-3 hour "curfew", one set by my boobs otherwise they become angry and engorged. Yeah, #breastfeedinglife.
Next short term goal : hitting the gym!
AJ's Progress: Now that we are a month old he will need to get his booster shot soon - Dr. Altaf recommended we get it done at our local public clinic since that is where the stash of vaccines coming into the country are prioritised. Other than that, I think im starting to see the beginning signs of him smiling and it's so damn cute. I can't wait for the day when he can smile & talk!
