Answer

Most of the mums I know who had a section recovered quicker than me with my vaginal tearing and said the whole thing was a pretty positive experience.

Answer

My first c-section had many complications but I was already in labor. My second c-section was a breeze. The pain is no joke (I can not lie) but the pain gets better before you know it. I felt better in less than a week. The first few days are difficult but the recovery isn't as bad as I've heard before I had my surgeries.

Answer

Same here. I had a scheduled c section in September. My husband and I don't have any family around either. My c section went great and I think I would have had a lot more pain if I had a vaginal birth. I didn't really even have that much pain, just soreness. I took ibuprofen for 3 days after. Wearing an abdominal support band really helped too!! Try to go for small walks pretty early on. I just had to get out of bed or off the couch slowly because of soreness for a few weeks. Not pain though. Try to relax. I was very anxious about it but it really wasn't that bad!! Good luck!!

Answer

I have a five year old son and I had to have a c-section with him. What I can remember is being pretty sore, they made me get up and walk a lot at the hospital. To me it really wasn't that bad. I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and will have to have a repeat c-section. I hope for a smooth and fast recovery with with this one like my first! Good luck to you!

Answer

I'll be having my 4th c-section in June. Positives, no pain while you're delivering. It is painful once the mess wear off but nothing too terrible. I was fine with the Tylenol they provided. But there's no tearing down there which I heard was painful and no hemroids from pushing and your lady bits get to stay in tact. My friend had to basically have reconstructive surgery after her son.
