I'm super scared to have another c-section. It took me forever to recover the 1st time. I was super upset after trying so hard to have it natural ended up having to have a emergency c-section. I really hope it ll be better this time. And my husband will be taking 4wks off of work so that'll help.

heloo! .. im having my second c section on the 27th of april .. i was really hoping to try a normal delivery this time round but i have had a few problems in the past few weeks and now my baby is lying in the doublr breech position so a normal birth is out of the question! .. i am worried tho my first c section was an emergency after a long labour .. i was kinda out of it and wasnt really aware wat was happening!! ... but this time i will be and i am kinda scared by it all! .. just the risks and i have heard the recovery is harder the 2nd time round! x

Armywife7~ I feel for ya! I am having a c-section the 29th of March with our 4th baby and our oldest has autism as well.

I'm having a scheduled c-section this time because the doctors in my area don't do VBACs and because I kinda know what to expect from a c-section after the last one. How long was it before ya'll were driving after yours? My doc said 3 weeks but all my help left after 1 1/2 weeks last time, so I couldn't take the meds since I had to drive and that made my recovery longer. Luckily I'm married this time and we have at least 3 weeks of help coming.

having my 2nd c-section in 6 weeks... cannot wait to meet my little man.... just will be harder this time bc we are a military family and i have an autistic 3 y/o. so hubby is supposed to be deploying a few short months after this one is born....

Sally- They recommend 6 weeks, nothing over 10lbs. I obeyed with my first section and was healed in no time. With my second I had a toddler at home vying for some attention and couldnt help myself. I re-opened my incision several times and prolonged my recovery to about 8 weeks. My doctor also was worried about scar tissue and fibroids. I know sometimes you can't follow the rules (no help, single parent, emergency) but you really really really should try. It makes for a much nicer recovery time and you will physically feel a lot better. My first section was a piece of cake, my second, I swore I would never put myself through that again! (one year later though im considering number three, lol)

hi everyone, ill be having my third c-section in july and i think im more worried about it then i was the other 2 times! i was single when i had my 2nd daugher and my eldest daughter was 18 months, so i was lifting baby and toddler (not at the same time!) because i had no choice. i plan to take it alot easier this time!

i was lifting my daughter 6 days after my c-section but i had no choice i was all alone and had to get her in and out of her crib and in and out of her high chair. but she was also very tinny only 15 lbs (she was 13 months old) and my son was in the NICU so it was only her i was taking care of, this time i am DEFINALTY having help this time, my mom is moving in with us for three weeks.

At 2 weeks PP I was carrying the car seat which was a bit much for me. I pushed a little too hard and think I set my recovery back. By 4 weeks I was lifting strollers, car seats, and was pretty much back to normal. I don't know any women who were really unable to lift anything for the full six weeks, that being said certain complications such as an infection can set your recovery back.

sallyfd - For some it is six weeks but for me it was less then a week for my son and then about 2weeks before I was told I could lift. You'll know what is too much. By a month I was carrying my 27lb son, diaper bag AND infant all at once. Sometimes in the carrier and sometimes in the bjorn. I'm only five weeks right now and I've been going out to the grocery store alone with both boys for several weeks now. But I've also known women to need to be on bedrest basically for the entire six weeks.

For how long are you not supposed to lift anything? 6 weeks? That is going to be tough!

jeslynn1976 - My son was 26months when my second son was born. I healed really fast and only spent 24hours in the hospital. But that being said, even though I felt good I couldn't lift my son. This wasn't good because I was the one to put him to bed each night (still in a crib). So, how we worked it out was that I would rock him like normal. We'd read a book and such and when the time came to move him to bed I would hand him over to dad and he would lay him down. This went ok, better then I expected but Chris really didn't like us being out of routine and would yell for Mom to rock. After less then a week I just started putting into bed because I didn't like hearing him complain about why Dad was putting him down. My husband also had the month off so it did help for naps too. For bath time my husband always did that because it was his time with his son so I didn't need to worry about it. It'shard not lifting them though, especially when you are feeling good. During the day I would feel fine and Chris would want up. I don't even think about it and lift him which was an oops on my part. But again I healed really well and never needed any pain meds. Just do lots of cuddle time on the couch with your oldest. Make sure there are lots of people around too that can make him/her feel special.

hi i have a 2 yrs old when i had a new born and all i done was mad a bed up on the floor in my sitting room as i could not lift at all it was soo sore

jeslynn1976 - 728 days ago.
I have an IMPORTANT QUESTION- for moms who have already had one csection, if you have a toddler also how do you lift them to put them in their cribs for naps, if we aren't suppsed to lift heavy objects???

Cjg.. It varies from woman to woman.. Typically its the same amount of time as a vaginal birth.. But I would recommend waiting until your doctor clears you before having sex again.. I was cleared at my 6 week appt.. Some may be cleared sooner if all went well and theyre feeling good.. =)

Cjg2010 ~ I seemed to heal really quick compared to so many, but I didn't bleed at all after leaving the hospital and we had sex within a week. I was cleared by my Dr at my 2 week apt.

When is it safe to resume having sex? after a csection

momof2hopfully3 - 733 days ago.
yay only 25 more days until my c-section and i am so nervouse being its my third!!! i had stiches with my first and staples with my second, i would so go for the stiches again. the staples might make the scare look nicer but they where a pain for me. i had them in for a week after the c-section and they pulled and pinched me not trying to scare any one.

Bri - 733 days ago.
Seiter - I had internal stitches but staples on the outside. With my first I was released 48hours later and they removed my staples before I left. This time around I was released at 24hours because I wanted to go home to be with my first son. I went back to my doctor's office to have them removed a couple days later. I never even took pain meds this time around, didn't need them. Recovery with my first was about 2weeks, this time it was about 3days. Except I wasn't alloud to drive or lift for several more. Blah! I did lift my toddler anyways. How can you say no to a 2-yr old. They don't understand why mommy can hold baby brother and not them....

naunilee - 733 days ago.
I had internal stiches and external glue. I healed really fast!

naunilee - 734 days ago.
