Advice on first time moms having c sections?
And anything specific I should pack for the hospital? My doctor said if she schedules me for one I'll be there 3-4 days since this is my first baby...
tip for hospital bed, raise the head all the and lower the body. turn your body. ..once your home youll miss the hospital bef
if u don't want hospital undies buy grannie undies because low cut will bother ur cut. and loose clothes to go home I bought a jump suite and a nursing tank top. ... and a girdle it will help a lot when trying to get up.. because what hurts more is the getting up not the walking to much.oooo..and make sure u take your pain meds on time don't let them wear off call nurse before the time at least drink them on time for the first week or so..this was my first csection and I was lost figured it out on my own
I took a couple of nightgowns so I didn't have to wear the hospital gowns. Slippers a brush and hair ties toiletries cause u will want to take a shower nursing bras if u are going to nurse make up if u want to feel normal lol I did my make up the second day cause I had lots of visitors I was in for 4 days
You're a strong mama. I'm terrified to have a c section. But I've had people tell me they preferred it. I work with a girl tho that was really dedicated to having a natural birth and went two weeks past her due date delivered him all natural. Maybe he'll just come. Never know. Good luck.
I am 39 weeks and only dilated 1/2 cm and not effaced at all... my doctor said my baby isn't even engaged, so she thinks I'm too narrow for him! I have one more appointment and if he's not engaged and I've progressed more then she will schedule a c section but if he is she will try to induce me but she said I will more than likely have a c section even if induced if I'm not at least dilated to a 2-3..
I'm not dilated enough for a sweep, or to start induction and there's nothing really I can do @hale
@hale I can't wait past my due date because my doctor will be on vacation for two weeks, that's why she was gonna induce but I'm not favorable.. my little boy will be here by the end of next week for sure!
And thank y'all for the tips!! @kcal12 @princessvictoria @pooh2197
