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

had csect too. i feel that my wound sting on and off too even when i dont do any house chores. my tip is to check with your gynae for advice as the dr would know your condition / wound best. get the husband to do the chores or find a part time helper because you really need rest to heal properly.. self care is important so that u can are for your little one. i faced the same problem too about not knowing how much baby drink when she latch. only way to find out is to pump. i also give formula so that i can keep track of her intake and wake hours at night so not to rush.
