A C-section is so painful afterwards..But at the end of the day it's all worth it..If I had normal birth my stay would've been 2 or 3 days..But C-section was my only option..I been in the hospital almost a wk now..I was in labor 24 hrs, I was at 1cm a long time, 3cm maybe 4 or 5hrs, 5 cm the rest of the 24hrs..So they came and said Well seem like C-section will be your best bet Because you're almost 42 wks and you been 5cm way too long..I said Nooo this sure wasn't planned at all..But to get it over with I had to end up doing a C-section anyway..So if you plan to get a C-section, Just know it's gone be painful and a long stay, But u will get better each day it's takes a long time because of the stitches and stuff..Just think about your baby boy or your baby girl that's what I did..
