Scheduled c section stories/experiences?

Question

Looking to hear about others scheduled c section experiences both good and bad. The first one I had was an emergency after 3 days of labor so I’m not sure what to expect this time. Recovery was also fairly easy the first time so for those of you that have had more than one does it get harder the more you have?

Answer

I had an elective c-section and it was super easy. In and out in 45 min. Baby comes out in the first 15 or so. They typically will do a spinal block. I'd say to tell them your preference on the scar (keep it as low and as small as possible). Post op, just keep it clean and dry. Take your pain meds as prescribed. Overall, very easy! Compression socks right after surgery can help reduce your chances of blood clots in the legs. The best part of a c-section is that you know your date, no painful labour and you can do your hair, nails and some makeup before, so you're all ready for you photo op with new baby!

100000x better! I was up and moving the same day, felt like I fully recovered by 2 weeks, and PP bleeding only lasted a couple days. BUT I did develop an infection at 3 weeks PP and overnight all the pain come back, felt like I had another c section in my sleep but 2 days into antibiotics it completely went away again so watch out for any unusual pain that's come back or got worse. Other than that it's been a pretty easy recovery, 8 weeks PP now and working out like I did pre pregnancy again 💪🏻

Answer

Oh gosh my first I thoigh was easy 
BUT my second was a BREEZE just as good if not BETTER than a vaginal birth. 
They gave me a spinal block that was medicated along with the spinal tap and my word, I was up and walking literally in 2 hrs(I could have climbed off the table once my surgery ended im not even joking) As soon as I got back to my room my family came in and all I wanted to do was get out of bed. Lol I had NO PAIN. It was an amazing experience. 
My 3rd was a little more painful but thats because my third time around they gave me a med I didn't realize I wasn't allergic to(whole story I told them I was during my 3rd so they took caution) and so I screwed myself lol. 
Im literally off all heavy pain killers by the next day and one ibuprofen until I leave and then im off when I get home(I get home by 48 hrs)
Healing wise I healed by 2 weeks inside and out with #1 and #2
With #3 i popped a stitch and was healed inside and out by 3 weeks
( i felt too good and was overexertibg my incision 😂) still healed wonderfully!
