[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No evc, but had a section in May. Had the surgery on a Fruday morning, was walking two hours after being back in my room and felt pretty much fine by Tuesday (went out visiting people, traveled a bit, shopped and had lunch) while taking meds as prescribed. Took meds for one week and then didn't need any pain relief. Two weeks after section I hosted company for three days in a row, attended threr big events  including throwing a large party of my own. My section never even crosses my mind this many weeks later.

Alk my friends' experiences really vary. If you do have a section get up and walk! I walked laps multiple times a day in the hospital and I know it helped.

Where did you have your c section?  I had mine in April and I was definitely still numb 2 hrs after.  They let me walk 12 hours after and it felt so good to be standing![/quote]

I'm not in the dc area. I asked to walk about two seconds after getting to my room and they pointed out I couldn't feel my legs, lol. Made request one at 11am and they told me they woukd check back after my guests left. By the time people left around 1230 I could feel my legs. I didn't really give them a chance to prep. I could feel then, so they removed the leg compressors and I got up without more comment. The nurse just asked that I not try to walk too far immediately. I got up multiple times the rest of the afternoon and by seven pm I was walking laps around the ward.
