I had a feeling I was just being stubborn. We will look into hiring some help for those first two weeks. The baby will come the last week of my five year old's winter break, so after that she'll be back to school which is walking distance, but it's the 2 year old that will cause issues hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255237 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:40:45 +0000 Bluebonnet 2255237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You need help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255232 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:34:21 +0000 autumnlove 2255232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would want help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255229 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:30:24 +0000 erwoo 2255229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get help, especially if you have to go to doctor appts which newborns go to a lot their first two weeks. It's worth the expense until you're all healed up and have less risk for tearing. I thought it was tough with one toddler and a newborn by myself. So I can only imagine how crazy it would be with 3 toddlers and a newborn. Do you at least have friends who could come by when you have to leave for doctor appts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255213 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:19:18 +0000 avivoca 2255213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In that situation, I would want help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255207 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:13:19 +0000 Anagram 2255207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can your husband take a week or two off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255206 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:13:14 +0000 Mamaof2 2255206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you need help.</p> <p>If you other LO's were older it might be doable but 3, 2, and a newborn alone after a c/s..... yikes! (5 yr old probably wont need you as much) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255205 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:12:42 +0000 MamaG 2255205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be most worried about the crib situation. I felt great after my RCS, but LO1 was in a regular bed and I made no attempt to lift her for awhile. Would the other children all be in daycare? Would your DH handle daycare drop off/pick up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255203 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:12:15 +0000 Smurfette 2255203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you need help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255192 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 09:03:46 +0000 Truth Bombs 2255192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I think taking care of 4 kids by yourself after a C-Section sounds really tough. Can you hire a mother's helper? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-a-case-of-hubris-with-a-side-of-stubborn-or-is-it-doable#post-2255188 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 08:58:00 +0000 MamaBehr 2255188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From time to time I have Mommy hubris and one might even say I'm stubborn. So, I must ask, is this ridiculous for me to think I can accomplish?</p> <p>I'm due with our fourth baby in December, it will be a RCS. I have a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 2 year old (well he'll be 2 when the fourth one comes), and I normally ask my mom to come help after the baby is born and I'm recovering from my csection. Well, my mom doesn't seem keen on coming this time, we don't have any family close and recently moved and don't have any friends. I keep telling my husband that I'll be fine with no help and he keeps thinking I'll tear my stitches and bleed out on the floor. I really think I can do this with no help. My only concern is getting the then two year old in and out of the crib and driving to doc appointments. But, I think I can figure that out. Am I being too stubborn and insane? </p>
