[quote=Anonymous][quote]My concern is both since I, too, will be having a csection. From what I've been told by everyone around me ("in real life") - his mother, his sisters, my mother, etc. - this really isn't a big deal. They're all telling me that, if all goes well, by 7 weeks I'll be healed from the section, the baby will still be in super sleepy mode and will travel well in the car, and that I'll just manage the germs by telling anyone who is sniffling, etc. to back off. Nobody else seems to think it's at all a big deal.

I've had 3 C-sections and the first was the worst! Even months aftewards, it was painful to ride in a car - you have no idea how many of your 'core' muscles you use to stablize yourself while sitting until you've had a rough C-section.  Sleeping was the worst.  Any time I moved, it would pull the incision and hurt.  My first DC was a 'cluster' feeder and even 7 weeks PP, I still wasn't getting decent chunks of sleep.  On the other hand, my 3rd C-section was a breeze and so was that baby.  If I hadn't had my first one, I would never have known how bad it can be.  You have no idea how you'll be feeling.  Your DH needs to be open minded and realize that as much as he enjoys being with his family, you and your baby are now his nuclear family.[/quote]
