I felt so alone and lonely at the same time. My husband was no help at all. He just thought that I should know how to handle everything and he was not involved at all. What should have been the happiest time of my life turned out to be the worst. Thank GOD my children grew to be wonderful adults and very loving.( I take credit for all of it)

My daughter is now 3 months old. I too had a painful tear that took weeks to heal; I could barely walk for 3 weeks postpartum. As a pre-pregnancy long distance runner, I expected to be back to exercise within the first month with my fancy jogging stroller… This was a big misconception! Wisdom that I did not have then also includes being patient and loving with my postpartum body. It is healing exactly as it is meant to and being unable to do much that first month gave me lots of time to snuggle with my little one. What I was not prepared for was my own transformation into an enhanced and different me postpartum. I have been transformed physically, spiritually, and emotionally by this process… and I am now accepting and grateful.
