second c-section
For those that have had multiple c-sections, did you find that the second one was easier or harder to recover than the first one? Did it hurt less because the nerves had already been cut, etc.?

Re: second c-section
Neither one was terribly hard for me, but the 2nd was not any harder than the first, about the same

Re: second c-section
I had a great recovery and everything for both but 2nd was a tad better. That is the only reason why we are having another If the 2nd went awful, then forget it

Re: second c-section
MUCH MUCH MUCH easier!!! The first one I was in a lot of pain but this time around - I was completely off of meds basically when I got home from the hospital (I can't take motrin so it was tylenol or nothing). The only thing was that I felt so good that the restrictions my OB gave me made me frustrated b.c I felt great - so I had to remind myself not to do certain things. I know several people who had great recoveries who forgot about their restrictions and tore their incisions or worse.

Re: second c-section
my second csection was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better then the first. Only because i knew what to do the second time around. i got up and was walking much much sooner then i did with the first. and i took all the pain meds they offered right on schedule.

Re: second c-section
My second recovery was quicker but more painful (I had an infection and my incision opened up with my first, so the recovery took longer). My third was a piece of cake, I felt back to normal pretty quickly.

Re: second c-section
My 2nd CS seems to be much better than my first. I could tell right away in the hospital. I was soooo out of it with my first CS in the recovery room. My DH said I looked and seemed much better this time around. I'm only on day 5 so far after surgery. Only thing bothering me is the soreness of the muscles and then this morning I seemed to have pulled one slightly and in that one spot it hurts bad but seems to be getting better right now.

Re: second c-section
FIrst C-section was the worst! It was my first baby and I didn't take the pain killers. Plus we had alot of family around and I was trying to be macho woman and do alot of things. The second time around I knew what I was doing and took the pain killers and things were great plus there wasn't alot of family around and I knew what I was doing. I would recommend to anyone to taae the pain killers for the first couple of weeks and rest.

Re: second c-section
My first was the easiest to recover from. My second was a little bit harder, and my 3rd was a nightmare. It took me a full month to feel better after my 3rd.
