Alexis Krauss Instagram – ✨10 day postpartum update✨
I feel so much more like myself! My blood pressure has been steady with the use of a low-dose blood pressure medication that I will continue until six weeks postpartum. My cesarean incision is healing well and I no longer have any swelling. I’m significantly more mobile and I can’t believe how quickly I’m shrinking. Staying nourished thanks to our meal train (best idea ever @michaelahimelfarb) and getting more sleep each night.
Baby Wilder is developing a routine and sleeping more soundly. I am learning how to balance breast-feeding and pumping, and despite my pitties (see previous post 😳) I think I have a pretty decent handle on regulating my milk supply.
Chris and I can’t express the love we feel; the sweet rawness and enormity of this experience. It really does crack you wide open. @alicitadelfina you are so on point. Grateful for your continued wisdom.
I have moments where I still feel really scared and I am pretty regularly replaying the events of earlier in the week, and how close I came to slipping away. We have taken action with the local EMS department and a review of the paramedic is underway.
I am so overwhelmed by all of your comments and shared stories. I haven’t been able to respond to every one, but please know, I am reading them, and they are making an impact.
So much love and gratitude for our village
