[quote=Anonymous]I had that adrenaline thing too. Your nervous system needs a reset. And sleep. Acupuncture, followed by sleeping medication if you’re not into that. Wife and mom need to take 100% care of child minus when you’re feeding. Including giving bottles or helping with combo feeding (all cleaning of all the things). Have meals brought to you, eat all the snacks, drink more water than you think you need.

You need to stay in bed for a few days awake or not minus appointments, restroom, bathing. The first month post partum is how you heal.

It’s awful and I’m sorry to be bossy. Not resting now can cause longer healing times for everything.

Soon please go get a massage or have a massage therapist come to you. There are brilliant postpartum bodyworkers in our area. It will help your body understand how to move out of a sympathetic nervous system state (fight or flight) into a restorative one (rest - parasympathetic). Craniosacral therapy can help too.

It’s so hard. I’ve been there. [/quote]
