[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could hardly walk up the stairs a week after giving birth, and you won’t be allowed to drive. Your boobs will be swollen beyond belief and they will be leaking milk like you cannot believe. You will be sweating uncontrollably and night and not sleeping for more than 1 hour at a time. Your husband needs to read a book about newborns. [/quote]

None of this happened to me and at 5 days out I was physically back to normal. BUT. OP has no idea what experience she will have. Also, OP needs to just talk to her boss (and probably before Christmas or her marriage is gonna be worse for the wear). [/quote]

DP here, all of this happened to me too.  I had an "uncomplicated" (but very, very long) vaginal birth and my legs felt like jello for 3 weeks minimum.  It was nearly a month before I trusted myself to drive a car.  I also sweated uncontrollably at night.  I know some people go back to week at 6 weeks postpartum but frankly I can't even process it.  I was a complete mess.[/quote]

Me too. It took me a very long time to be able to even walk around the block. Pregnancy was a breeze. Birth and recovery messed me up. I had no leave (1099), but the account took me back after 3 months. I had saved enough for most of leave, but it was  unpaid.
