C-section mommas- help!

melanie

I’m scheduled for my third csection on Wednesday October 6th. However, it’s been 12 years since my last csection. My kids are 13 and 12, so it’s been a loooooong time since I’ve done this!! I am terrified. I hate needles and surgery and all that stuff in general.. but I’m worried about recovery. My last csection I recovered very easily and quickly, but I’m worried that the additional 12 years, and 2 csections worth of scar tissue etc will make this one more difficult. Plus I’m obviously older this time, I just turned 32. Any other mommies that had multiple csections.. how was your recovery? Bonus points for multiple csections with large age gaps between 😂😂

Also.. driving.. it says generally 2 weeks of not driving after. This one I’m worried about as my boyfriend doesn’t have his license at the moment so I do allllllllll the driving. Anyone drive before 2 weeks?

Any tips for a smooth recovery are appreciated!!! It’s been so long since my last, so I’m sure there are new “tips & tricks” to this these days 😂 any “must have” items that I need or should have, definitely comment below!! I will also be breast feeding so any tips on feeding after csection would be great as well!!!
