Postpartum Recovery Update

July 13, 2022

2.5 weeks postpartum 

Hey girlies! (That’s how I refer to my daughters sometimes, hope ya don’t mind!) 

Here I am in the middle of postpartum! Boy has this one been a journey! The past 2.5 weeks have been the longest weeks of my life! 

Of course we all expect this time to be kinda difficult, considering we’re dealing with a newborn, a new body, changing hormones, healing etc! 

This time around has been a little more of a struggle for me! I think it had a lot to do with the aftermath of my birth! 

By the way, if you haven’t watched my home birth video, I have it up on my YouTube channel!

I can honestly say I had the most beautiful birth experience! I am so grateful to have lived it the way it went! 

But like I mentioned earlier. The aftermath… 

It seems it’s been one thing after the other. 

I had some physical issues happen after the birth, some emotional ones, and then other stressful things that have happened since then. 

I have been meaning to create a YouTube video explaining everything that went on after the birth but I have mostly been focusing on resting and recovering at this time. 

But I promise before the end of the week I will record it and explain everything. So make sure you’re subscribed! 

I do want to add that baby and I are healthy and well! I don’t want to make it this scary thing! I just want to update you! 

I hope all you ladies are doing well! 

Sending my preggo friends so much love and my postpartum girls sending you props 🤜🏼!

Be on the lookout for the next blog post where I will share some postpartum tips!

Gotta go before baby wakes up!

I typed this draft out on my phone while baby sleeps on my shoulder. I'm wearing a linen robe, messy hair, and probably smell like milk and sweat 😅

Don’t worry I shower daily! If theres only one thing I can do besides eat and sleep, it’s squeeze in a shower! 

Picture for proof 😜

Thanks for reading
