Csection moms , what can I expect? this will be my first cesarean and I would like to know what to look forward to .
Agree with pp. I was able to get the catheter out after 12 hours. It hurt to move but I think it helped me. The first pee after will be uncomfortable.
If you get shaky during the c section it’s totally normal. It’s from the meds they use to numb you.
I didn’t hear or feel anything while the c section was being done but I’ve heard others say they felt a tugging.
Sneezing, coughing and laughing is going to hurt for awhile. Use a pillow it will help.
Take it easy. The first two weeks are definitely the hardest.
Take a pillow for the ride home on your belly cause of the bumps in the roads it helps. They will do the spinal then take you back put you on the table put a blue cloth up so you cant see whats happening but they will tell you whats happening. Show you baby once born then you can hold baby and also on the way back to recovery. I didn't get to do all that with my experience cause mine wasn't a good one. But you'll be fine .
definitely use a pillow, the bandage coming off covering your scar is gonna hurt like a bitch!! you will be gassy, it's normal, walking, everything hurts at first but the more you get up and walk the better you will feel I looked like the hunch back of Notre dame lol but it got better really fast, you're gonna do great, and yes I felt tugging, but it doesnt hurt at all, and after you will shake alot but it goes away after a while
