I have to say it honestly was not that bad. I was stuck @6cm for 24 hours only to find out baby’s head was swollen causing him to be stuck and not progress down any further. I tried everything and pushed the c-section off for as long as possible because I was terrified and thought recovery would just be terrible but it’s not been that bad I lost blood during the surgery so I was In the hospital a total of 5 days but it was great I had minimal pain the doctors were shocked because I was up and moving as soon as I got to my room after the surgery. I had the epidural while in labor I think that’s why I felt little pain after. I am only taking Tylenol and Motrin for pain management. I feel as if I was so scared for nothing I do not have a high pain tolerance and have had one surfer before that was very painful so it made me think this would be the same.
