[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]C-sections are MAJOR ABDOMINAL surgery. And recovery is maddening. Who wants to recover from a major operation while caring for a colicky, demanding newborn......?? *crickets....* It feels like a huge paper cut across your entire abdomen and you need to take painkillers for at least a few weeks. You have to eat a liquid diet, then a soft diet before graduating to a regular diet. Some Dr.s will not allow immediate post-birth showers. Some people may get a fever shortly after birth while others may have some severe blood clotting as well. After you are home, you are discouraged from even doing laundry tasks as you need to get plenty of rest so you can heal properly. Rest.....??! With a needy, fussy baby?? Lol.[/quote] This wasn't at all my experience. Actually I think a lot of it is plain wrong. No idea where you are getting this liquid diet nonsense from, for instance. My recovery was faster and easier than most of my friends who had vaginal birth.[/quote]
