    C-section recovery w NICU baby

    This is so hard trying to recover from C-section while my baby is in the NICU ! I know the staff is there for the baby, but it’s like they don’t realize the mom is TORN UP!! I need a bed to rest in, a bathroom that is easily accessible from inside the NICU unit, nutritious food, and support...
