weather its a csection or vaginal birth is scary. I was delivered at 11lbs with no pain meds 100% naturally vaginal. I delivered my son the same way. my best friend had an emergency csection and she said the recovery was terrible but in reality recovering from either is terrible and painful. good luck toyou!! you'll be just fine :)

I had a c section 5 years ago the best thing to do 2 or 3 hours after is walk around you will be sore for a while but the more you walk the faster you heal and your bleeding won't be as heavy

I was in the same situation and gave birth on 12/1. I was extremely scared, nervous and doubtful about the c-section, but it was successful and a positive experience for me. My baby was born 9lbs 4oz, and I am thankful I listened to my Dr because he was too large for me to deliver vaginally. I think just take it easy and don't stress. The procedure was very fast and I was awake the entire time. I got to see my baby come out and was with him shortly after. I am still recovering, but it gets better every day. Good luck and I'm sure everything will go great for you!
