Hello ladies!

HI! I'm Michele and I'm new here. I had my SAH on May 9th and I seem to be healing pretty well. My doctor removed my tubes but kept my ovaries. I was nervous as heck but surprisingly my hospital experience was excellent (minus the food). A litte less than a week later my doctor removed my staples which was a cinch. I've had 2 c-sections and so far this is much easier. Except I don't remember people telling me to baby myself so much after I had my children - they didn't seem to concerned that the new mom was trying to be a supermom and do it all on barely any sleep. I hope to meet some new sisters and bond over our shared experiences!
