Emergency c sect and take care everything on your own

Hi mummies Can anyone share on tip how to heal the c sect faster & how to cope with baby n house chores? I had my emergency c sect last week, apparently the wound is still sting on and off. I do take my painkillers I have no confinement nanny hence i have to do everything myself. Is that why i still feel pain on my wound? If anyone had done c sect and take care baby and house chores on your own, please let me know any tips? Another stress to add is not very sure if i should pump every 3 hours. My breast sometimes will feel very full but once bb latch then it goes back to normal, but i cant measure how much LO drink hence i prefer to pump. Get on and off bed still difficult for me as well, but once bb cry i have no choice but to rush it😮‍💨 Please let me know how you guys cope!! Thanks in advance

I cannot advise you on the Csect part but the only way you can tell how much baby drinks is to pump out and bottle feed. If your breast still feels full after latching, you can hand express/pump so that you won’t risk of having clog ducts (this also increases your supply since there is a demand for it). (Don’t bash me) If getting off the bed is hard for you at the moment, you can get a baby nest and put on your bed so you don’t have to keep getting up and down. Housework can wait for hubby, once a week is fine also. Alternatively, you can hire pt helper that comes to clean every one or two weeks.
