[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FTM.  Overall good birth experience but had some tearing and bladder retention paired with pelvic floor/tailbone damage that makes me have little bowel control.

Baby is one week old and I’m sure I’m dying.  Can’t sleep even when given opportunity.  Nauseous, shakey and flu-like feelings.  Insomnia on top of frequent wakings to feed baby.

I’m certain I’m going to die.  Yes, OBGYN knows about symptoms.  Everything normal.
 No fever, normal blood pressure etc.  I’m on anti-anxiety medication.

Didn’t expect to feel like I got hit by a bus postpartum.

Baby is doing great thank God but I am not, what is and isn’t normal? I think I get 3 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period on average.  Can this kill me?[/quote]

OP this is not normal! Please get help so you can get more sleep. Yes, i did feel like I got "hit" by a bus after a normal vaginal delivery, in that my body felt weak and sore all over, and I had no strength in body parts unrelated to the pushing (like my fingers). But none of the other symptoms you mentioned. [/quote]
