She had her baby friday and.....

So I bump into some girl in the street on monday she look at me and said [ I know you cant wait already, I just gave birth on friday]

I was super shock to see her walking around like nothing with a box donuts and her 3 year old daugther walking to the store like nothing like if she was walking all day getting donuts and walking back home.

I mean is it to soon to be on the streets . Im Ftm so idk I be scare to bleed out. They say to take it easy for 40 days.

Okay yeah makes me feel more better knowing you recover fast. I just dont know what to expect I thought ill be to sore to even walk. I guess I just notice when my sis and mom gave birth they took it easy abd stayed in bed for the first days when they got home.

Thanx ladies I feel more secure

I was out walking around and went to Wendy's when my baby girl was only 24 hours old.

I had my baby 2 weeks ago. I felt fine straight away! I'm a ftm. I had stitches which hurt. And it hurt if I walked for too long, but the breast engorgment was more painful! And there is no relief until your milk comes in! Haha. We had to get transferred from the main hospital into a maternity unit, which was an hour away from the hospital. 3days after I gave birth we went to the grocery store. It's not bad :) you are paranoid like crazy about your baby! But the pain for me was nothing after birth.

The more you do, the more you will bleed my doc told me not to pick up anything heavier than my baby, but I also had a 2 year old at the time and she loved to get picked up so I would and I would have a lot of bleeding, and being out to soon, you could get sick I know I did cause I was out and about the next day after I got out the hospital so take it easy for at least a week or so,

With my son, I gave birth on Friday night,  and Monday we were out shopping all day. I bled a lot.  Learnt my lesson. This time round I'll take it easy for at least a week. 40 days is a bit of a stretch though, coz by day 9 or so, the bleeding had stopped, and I only had a little discharge. God bless!
