I am a mom who has had 3 c-sections about to be 4. Not everyone will have an amazing experience after all it is major surgery. I don't have a vaginal experience to compare it to but all of my recoveries have been easy, no need for pain meds and I was able to tend to my self and baby with no problems at all.

I hate seeing post from others telling mom's to be that it is the worse thing they can do especially if they are having a c-section because it's necessary. There are women who have elective c-sections who would disagree.

Some women will and do have bad experiences, but not all and it's not fair to scare other moms because of a bad experience.

If a mom asks I always say I had a good experience but everyone is different and if I had a bad experience I would say the same.

Yeah, unfortunately I got an infection on the inside of the incision. So it was pretty much completely healed and my OBGYN had to cut it back open to drain it. I had a wound vac on it for about a month then had to pack it after that until it was completely healed again

Same. The first few days were tough, but I recovered quickly. I was up and moving like normal a week later and I healed very well. I had to have an emergency c section because my bp was increasing and her heart rate was decreasing. I was afraid and literally cried in my nurse's arms, but because I had a wonderful support team, it made it a bit easier!

I don't usually tell about my recovery unless I'm asked because I feel like it'll scare a mom. Lol it was pretty scary and shitty

@santistevanmommie, exactly. I know everything isn't easy but sharing both sides can put a mom at ease instead of her being scared.

I had a bad recovery from my c section but I always tell moms that everyone different. I know plenty of people who have had c section and not had a problem. They're scary at first but sometimes necessary
