[quote=Anonymous]I had an unplanned c section and it was much easier than I thought it would be.

There’s a long time between baby being born and you being able to see them. They stitch you up before you can hold baby and that process felt interminable to me- maybe 20 minutes but torture bc I could hear her crying and couldn’t see her.

There is a lot of people in the room as a matter of course- anesthesiologist, OB, nurses, pediatrician. I was surprised but it’s normal apparently.

You shouldn’t feel pain but you will feel a lot of pressure- it’s a very odd feeling like they are pushing you down to get the baby out.

I took Colace in the hospital (not before because it wasn’t planned) and my first poop was fine. NBD.

My scar is really low, below the hair line, and, 2 years out, I can hardly see it. And I do still have no feeling in part of my lower abdomen.

My core strength was ruined post C section and took a long time to rebuild. I seriously had trouble even like sitting up in bed.[/quote]
