and dont forget that you are getting up numerous times at night to feed your newborn...that in itself takes a lot out of you.
The c-sect should be right in a 4-6 weeks, but you'll not be getting a decent nights sleep for about he next 1-2 years. My only advise is to try and sleep during the day when the baby sleeps...its mostly lack of sleep that will be making you feel so lacking in energy. Also if you are on pain killers still, they could be adding to it.
Thanks for your replies I've been meaning to get back on here, it's been 6 almost 7 weeks now since the surgery, my energy levels have improved slightly, I ended up getting some blood tests done and discovered that i had an abnormal thyroid, but had tests done again last week and came back ok now. My legs can still feel very heavy - every morning they feel heavy and by the end of the day they can ache. It has been a very slow recovery!
