Miss the bond
I am 5 day PP and I’m struggling not being able to be 100% with my first born. I feel like a terrible mother. I used to cuddle him to sleep every nap and bed time and since my surgery I can’t. I also hate that he asks for me and I can’t pick him up :( I can’t wait to feel great again. I don’t want him to forget about our bond.

You are not a terrible mother at all. It's extremely hard. I went through a horrible birth and nearly died and had internal bleeding and had to be put to sleep and opened up however that wasn't as hard as having a newborn and my first child. Mine is now 9 months and There are good days and bad days But it really is worth it I promise, especially when you see them happy together

you are not a terrible mum there are other ways you can bond with your first born. blowing kisses acknowledge them when picking him up encourage him to sit next to you (and yes it is hard) but so worth it
