1 week old - scheduled csection recovery

Rachel

Adeleigh is 1 week old!

Also, I just wanted to add in for the moms nervous about having a scheduled csection, my recovery this time has been so much easier than with my unplanned csection 3 years ago. I’ve managed pain only with over the counter meds, and I’m moving around normally. I would ask your doctor to use sutures rather than staples if possible because that has been the biggest difference that I’ve noticed this time. Everything just feels more secure. I was able to get up and walk within 8 hours, and I think that really helped too!
