My wife had a c-section for our first child a week ago. I get it man. Especially if that shit wasn’t planned and you’re at the end of 20 hours of non progressing labor. Congrats, it’s a marathon. Sleep when the baby sleeps. Tell visitors to fuck off, or sleep while they’re oohing and ahhing.
Edit: the marathon is keeping the thing alive after the birth. It’s a 4 hour cycle on repeat. Feed, diaper, soothe, sleep, setup for next cycle. Then you get to sleep for 1-2 hours.
When my first child was born, it was an emergency c-section. Nurse comes over to me and says not to look around the drape that is by my wife's head. She points to one group of medical staff and says, " those people are here for your wife," then she points to another group and says," those people are here for your baby. There is no one here for you. If you pass out and hit the floor, we will walk on you to help the ones we are here for." I did not look around the drape.

Last two fainters I had ended up in the ER for stitches. Hospital floors are hard AF.
Baby #2, I recommend staying seated....
