It’s certainly not a walk in the park for some of us! Many other countries’ national health services provide a nurse or home health aide to new mothers after they go home with a new baby. Oh how I could have used something like that! I was really weak for about 2 weeks, but not as bad as you.... Of course my husband was at work all day so I was left home alone with the baby. No parental leave back then,either
