C-section mamas. Recovery?

Question

I dont know if I’ll have one but I want to be prepared for the recovery process if I do. What was your?!

Answer

Wasn’t that bad. Never needed to take anything stronger than ibuprofen and Tylenol. My stomach was weak and I did need help with a lot of things for the first week but then I was fine. My mom had a really bad vaginal birth (4th degree tear) and she said that was worse than her c section. If you have one wear the belly binder and get out of bed asap I swear it helps.

Answer

ice packs, pain pills  and a belly binder. it was honestly pretty easy.

Answer

Pain pills, walk soon, get some big, high waisted undies.

Answer

I had a very smooth recovery.
(1) Walk as soon as you can when the doctor gives you the clearance in the hospital
(2) If you can, have help at home to help.  After my discharge I didn’t lift anything heavier than my baby, didn’t cook, didn’t clean.  I focused on healing, walks in the neighborhood (light exercise) and the baby.
(3) I was not permitted to drive for 8 weeks after the c-section

Answer

Rest but no too much otherwise it would be worse off when I got back up. Plenty of fluids, and pain killers. 12 months post c section with twins.  and I’m pregnant again too!

Answer

Mine was horrible!! Very horrible my first one got infected the second one was terrible each time I moved a burning sensation shot through my lower body. I’m currently pregnant again and I am definitely not having another one
