When did you stop needing help for basic things?
Planning for a c section delivery for various reasons, so it will be a non-emergency situation, hoping to feel well rested going into it. Wondering when after surgery did you stop needing help (from another person) for things like getting up and down from a seated/laying position, showering, bending down, etc.
Also, was there anything unexpected that you did or didn’t need physical help for?
Thanks!
Edit:
Thanks everyone for the super helpful responses. My husband will be taking off two weeks, and based off of the responses this seems appropriate for needing help physically. Of course I’d rather he be home longer, but this is what we’re dealing with. I’ll also have a mother’s helper situation going on, this person will be there 6 hours a day 4 days a week for about 6 weeks. Her focus will be on household chores and watching the baby if I need a shower or nap. I’m feeling pretty confident in our plans!
