HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO RECOVER FOR HAVING A C-section ? & IS THE AFTER PAIN BAD ? Could you…

I could not get out of bed by myself for about a week and a few days. so if you have help take advantage of it.:)

i wont have help...@brittany.alvarez

they give you pain meds. so you should be okay

but what kind because im gonna be breast feeding. ..just asking questions just incase i have to get one @brooklynnsmommy

every doctor is different, just depends on what they wanna give you.

ohh ok @brooklynnsmommy

I had a c-section with my first at 2am. I stayed in bed the first day and had my fiance help me move and sit up. Day 2 they let me get up and walk and took my catheter out so I could pee on my own. I also showered that same day. After getting up and walking I could get up by myself and walk around. I was even sitting on the chairs and walking to the NICU to see my son alone. They gave me Norco and ibuprofen for the pain I also took prescriptions home for both. I didn't really use the meds and my recovery was fast. Walking definitely helps a lot and not skipping medicine doses either. Take them every 4-6 hours together like the packages say. I also got a full body girdle to help keep everything nice and tight when moving. Of course it is painful but I think fear gets the best out of you and makes it worse than you think it will be. Just walk around and pace yourself. At one week post operation I was taking care of my son all alone getting up at night and washing bottles, washing clothes, and cleaning.

omg girl...its so scary. wow @guaderrama_babies2

@mommytinkerbella2017 it definitely is scary but all worth it. Trust me you won't even remember the pain. It's amazing how fast the human body heals itself. I'm having my second c-section in 7 days! I'm a bit scared but I'm so ready to have him here.

aweee @guaderrama_babies2

I'm having a C-section for my first son in 2 weeks... I'm nervous but at the same time I'm not because it's the safest route for him and I. I'm 22 and never had surgery a day in my life, I hate pain meds and pills so I'm curious to see how this will go. also I have to do lovanox shots in my stomach everyday for 6 to 8 weeks because of my blood clot disorder. and I'm scared for the epidural but I keep telling myself it's temporary pain and within a half hour to an hour of starting the C-section my little bundle of joy will be here and that pain will be gone.

my first c section was easy. my second one was a tad harder just because my son had been sitting on a pinched nerve for 3 months sp when they delivered him it was still pinched for a few days but there are these things called belly bands that they sell on walmart.com its a little over 3 dollars a piece i definately recommend it cause it holds your belly so it wont hurt when you walk. having your belly held with belly band will make things way better and another tip is the more you walk the better you will feel. not walking will make the recovery time longer. and just walking around your house here and there will do
