I begged to be released early, and was let go at 46 hours. If I could rewind time, I would have stayed one more day. I was exhausted at home trying to breast feed, change diapers, and rock a baby that just wouldn't sleep!

michelle007 - I stayed about 48hours which seems really short but when I was online the other day looking at other deliveries and such that is what most insurance companies are now paying for. A typical vaginal delivery is 24hours and a section is 48! Granted, while I was there another women had her section the hour before I did and she didn't go home when I did. She was barely walking. They'll keep you if you aren't walking well.

Hi ladies! I go in for my C-section on Dec 22 @ 12pm. I was wondering, how long do you you think they will keep me if all goes well? It's been 9 years since my last and I left on the 5th day, but things have changed. I was wondering how long everyone has stayed in hospital.

I had a c-section with my son 5yrs ago. The doctors office is willing to do a VBAC.. But i am so nervous. I was in induced labor for 2days and 1 weeks overdue. Finally i couldn't take it anymore. With my son the recovery was a breeze. But with this pregnancy everything is so different. I have a 5 yr old to take care of and I am a total control freak. I;m just praying this c-section goes well..

I breastfed my daughter about an hour after my c-section... I couldnt hold her across my lap because of the pain but we used what they call the ''football'' hold and it worked out fine for us.. Good luck to you and congrats! =)

Did any of you ladies breastfeed after your c-section. I have a genetic clotting d/o so I'm high risk, and they have warned me that c-section is prob in my future. I'm just hoping to pick up some practical advice from someone who has been there.

Hello ladies. I've been reading all your post now for a few weeks. Well I just had my 3rd Csection and I was in surgery for 2hrs. My 1st Csection was 7yrs ago I was induced the day before my due date because of preclampsia like symptoms high bp, protein in urine. Well I was in labor for 29 1/2 hrs only got to 3-4dilation so the Csection was what needed to get my lil man out. He weight 8.15! 2nd Csection was planned but neccesary because he was breeched! He weight 7.10! This Csection they said I had a lot of scar tissue & mind you my 2nd Csection was 11/07/08. So they were very close together. I was told that I shouldn't have anymore children. Which is fine with me. My recovery is going ok just making sure I take my pain meds. If anyone has any questions please feel free to message me. Take care!

I just went through everyone's posts and my c-section seems like it was a breeze compared to everyone's! I had to have my first c-section a year ago when our third baby wouldn't flip! Honestly I was at the track walking with in a week and we were cleared for sex at my second week apt. I didn't even have to go back in for a 6 week check up because I was back to normal by my 2 week. I am opting to have another c-section in March when we will have our 4th and final baby, since I am having my tubes tied. I just hope that you all keep your spirits up and try to go into it as positively as you can! I know I'm praying for another smooth c-section!

Did anyone have excruciating chest and back pain during their c-section? It started for me on the table and lasted for 4 days. A doctor I know suggested it was blood leaking behind my diaphragm. . . it was terrifying. I couldn't even hold my baby I was in so much pain the first 6 hours. Then they loaded me up with pain killers and all I did was vomit for 12 hours and of course my baby wouldn't breastfeed then. . . . it was a bit of a disaster. Just wondering if anyone else had this?

I just had a my second c-sec 3 weeks ago and I have been picking up my 18 month old..so I am sure you will be good even sooner than me..I not only had a classic incision (up and down and through lots more muscles and stuff, and about 2-3 times the size of normal incisions) but I also ended up busting out some stitches my first week home, and I still feel ok enough to pick her up. It is hard not to overdo it, but I was sent home with instructions to not lift anything over 10 lbs for 6 weeks, which is impossible since I had an 11 lb baby! Give yourself a week or two to heal and I am sure you will be fine, I learned to lift with my arms and knees rather than stomach muscles..helps alot!

momof2pregowith1more - I was told that you can't pick up anything heavy then the baby for SIX weeks! This means no carseat and such! Now, that doesn't mean we all abide from these rules. I think after two or three weeks was picking heavier things up. I don't want another section because my son will be 26months. I need to be up moving and grooving quickly. So, I'm doing an all natural VBAC. My son was a section because we couldn't get an induction done so I am confident that once this guy wants to come he will.

Brittany.. Congrats on the birth of your twins!.. How exciting!.. And I agree with the other women that a call to your doctor and antibiotics would be smart.. Stay on the safe side!..

On another note.. Anyone have a failed induction leading to an non-elective/emergency c-section??.. If so please comment on my page. Id love to speak with other mommies who have been thru what I have.. =)

brittany~ I had a similar issue, then redness. It was a slight infection (the doctors words, not mine) that I insisted on antibiotics for, because I did not want it to become a biger issue.

Ladies, I need help! I am 6 day po for my c-section with fraternal twins and today i noticed a foul odor coming from my incision. The incision doesnt hurt only stings because of the staples and everything else has been normal for me. I have a sanitary hospital anti-adhesive gauze strip on over it afyer cleaning it and patting dry. It seems like is smells like sweat, only kind of sour. There is no drainage coming from the incision. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to get my staples removed but I'm afraid this may be an infection... any ideas ladies?

Hi ladies, I'm scheduled to have my c-section in 3-4 weeks and I was wondering if anyone here used an abdominal binder and if so hat you thought? I've heard they are a must have but I'm not sure as I've only had vaginal deliveries before. Also, what brand did you use??

jmcbrown2002 - 822 days ago.
Anyone ever had a classic incision OR had problems with their incision coming open? If so please message my page I have some questions..I am dealing with this right now :( It is very worrysome for me.

i am going to have my third c-section in february and find myself freaking out about it?? i wasnt like this with my other two and both there recoverys where great so i dont no why i am freaking out so much. i am just SO scared somthing is going to happen being its my third!! any one else feel this way??

I didnt really have any pain urinating or having a bowel movement after my c-section.. I did however have pain while laughing coughing or sneezing.. Holding a pillow tight to my incision site helped alot.. and bending over or holding my baby across my lap to breastfeed was a joke.. For the 1st couple weeks at least.. By 6 weeks post-partum I was almost completely back to normal..

jynxxd-when my catheter came out after the section I think I needed to pee but was hurting so much and when I finally had to go, I was crying and peeing at the same time-the pain was just so horrible. But it gets better,thank GOd

jynxxd - Yes and bowl movements were terrible too. The first one is the worst.

jynxxd - 827 days ago.
i had a c section and was wondering if anyone else has had pains while urinating?

luckywhite - No one is going to judge you. That's a hard decision to make. I feel for you but I don't judge you. I don't think my husband and I would have stayed together either in that case. I'm surprised that they could make those decisions for you though. I understand completely the guilt that is inside you. I've never been through that experience but I understand. You've been through a lot of pain in the past few months. I'm glad you wrote it down. It sometimes helps to heal.

i had my secti0n in january and it didnt heal so i went in three months later and got the scars all opened and put back together again as well as a complete pelvic floor reconstruction from my first delivery 8 years ago.. i then started having a lot of pain and i thought i was just knitting back together again i went on holiday came bac really poorly thougt i caught swine flu.. oay on the couch for a month feeling worse and eas getting really bad pains daily .. bear in mind i was still breastfeeding my son had decided not to feed from me while on holiday and i dint know why..so never yet had a period.. we had had one accident with a condom to which i got the morning after pill.. anyhoo long story short took a test after feeling a familliar woozysickness and it came up straight away.. went to the docs and she said with the surgery i had had she couldnt tell me not to have the baby, but coudnt guarantee i woudnt rupture and the baby would survive as i had been having pains and bleeding . the pain i was having were not ligamemt pains. i had a scan.wasnt allowed to see it . and i was in a few days later basically decision taken out my hand byt the doctors and my partner .. pregnancy taken away.. people keep saying it was too much of a risk and im better to heal and have the chnce of healthy pregnancy where i am safe and the baby is safe cause at the end of the day i have two kids to think of and a uterine rupture can kill you in minutes. doesnt stop me from feeling sad about it - i could see the logic applies to someone else but when its you and you have seem babies dancing on a ultrasound.. it does make you feel like the worst person on the planet.. needless to say i hate my partner for the decision made i feel like he would have backed me a bit more cause had been soley up to me i would have taken my chances. so we are not together anymore - i dint blog it as i do eveyrthing else cause this is a pregnancy site and this seemed to horrible and traumatising a story to tell but ive typed it now its out.. and im sure i will be judged. but hey ho everyone has an opinion at the time i was shell shocked into what happened and everyone that knows me and knew about it new how i felt at the time so thats all that matters
