[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it’s the crunchy moms I’m around but I found the stories about c sections wrong especially in the case of a planned c section. I had a planned c section and I maybe took 1 opiate the first night and then was just Tylenol.  I really did not have a hard time managing at all. I was in the hospital I think three nights and could have left after two (stayed for 3 because I was struggling with breastfeeding (ugh way worse than the c section) and insurance covered it.

I felt 100 percent better by week 2.  I was able to do everything I wanted to by day 4.  And I was 40.  I was in good shape during the pregnancy, did a lot of prenatal yoga and stretching and walking. Didn’t gain much weight either as I had GD and had a restricted diet that was generally hard to over eat on.

My advice is just make sure you have dresses or other loose around the waist clothing. [/quote]

Yes I was in a prenatal yoga class where everyone talked about C sections like some kind of tragedy or the worst outcome imaginable. I myself was born via C section so I obviously didn't think so! I've had two and honestly it's fine and looking back (my kids are in ES now) it's barely memorable. I posted earlier with some tips on the early days. Postpartum recovery is tough and variable regardless.[/quote]
