Gretchen has been recovering from
her C-section in the week since she gave birth. She wrote on
Instagram, “Those 4 days and 3 nights were some of the toughest days I have ever navigated, being that you are trying to recover from a major abdominal surgery, (not to mention I have never had a major surgery in my life) deal with all the swelling and hormonal changes going on with my body, all the while trying to learn how to breastfeed, and meet your babies needs, but also trying to keep your head above water and take care of yourself so you can be the best mommy to your baby.”

“I cried a lot, I was nervous, scared, in pain and not sure I was doing it all correctly,” she admitted. “But I had an amazing support system between the hospital staff, my parents, my brother, and my dearest of friends all surrounding me and telling me, I got this, and was doing a good job!”
