[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t had a c section but I have had three kids and my advice would be, if possible, get as much exercise as you can (walking and such, not boot camp) now. Being in good shape will make your recovery easier - regardless of the type of birth you are having. As a mom of 3, I would also really encourage you to be open to outside help - either paid or family. Being a new mom, especially a first time mom, can be very isolating. There is a physical and mental recovery period that happens after birth and it is really hard to take care of yourself when you are taking care of a baby that needs you all the time. My husband and I never had paid help with any of our kids and we had minimal family help due to distance, and it’s hard - and I had incredibly easy physical recoveries with my kids. Lastly, with breastfeeding - be open to supplementing, if needed, and be open to ending before your desired date if it’s not working for you or your child. Be flexible! [/quote]
