I am on countdown mode and as the day gets closer, i feel myself becoming very anxious, excited, and worried. I have a two and ten year old and I wonder how I am going to feel in those first few days and caring for them as a single mom who is use to doing EVERYTHING. My sister is going to be helping me for about a week, but I worry if I am going to need more than just a week of help.

So, I welcome any feedback

Personally I found the first 5 days the hardest. Not so much pain ... more nausea and a generally "yucky" feeling from the aniesthetic. After that I felt completely normal and able to care for my 5 month year old alone. I think you should be fine provided no complications. Many go back to work after a week. Good luck ... you are about to go on an awesome ride !!

I'm glad I had my husband's help for the first week, definitely. Hopefully your sister will stay with you for a few days overnight too?
