Re: BTDT C-Section Moms

I had a scheduled one.

Seriously, painfree.

After surgery, I took one dose of ibprofren, I was scared to have spinal wear off...

The nurse came in and asked my pain level, I said zero, the spinal must still be working....
she laughed and said there is no way the spinal is still working(it was like 8 hours later)

That was it...never another dose.

No pain, walking to cafeteria the next morning with DH...

I lived on the 3rd floor, stairs were never a bother either.

I bf for the next 18 months.

good luck!

Re: BTDT C-Section Moms

I ended up having one after going through labor. I was up all night in labor and had the section in the am. That whole day I was wiped out. That night they had to get me out of bed because I had a room change. It hurt so bad, but it forced me to move. I tried to walk around the maternity ward every day. It hurt, but I think it helped my recovery. It's no picnic, but at least there is a nice reward, a beautiful baby! Good luck!!

I had a scheduled c-section. I was 4 days past my due date and wasn't progressing.

I had my c-section at 9am and DD was brought to my room around 12pm. I was able to hold her just fine. I didn't BF but I don't think it would have been a problem if I wanted to.

By the 2nd week I felt so much better. I could move around fine and was even able to drive myself to a follow up appt at my OB at 2 weeks.

HTH

So wait...you didn't see the baby for 3 hours??????
