[quote=Anonymous]I mean, it is abdominal surgery, so it's not fun.  Unless you're a bit of a freak, you will NOT be up and out of bed easily (note, I said easily) for a short while.  HOWEVER, I had a planned c-section for my second because I am NOT a candidate for a VBAC, and the experience with a planned c-section was a HUGE improvement over my first c/s after an induced labor led to the conclusion that no baby is ever escaping my body through my vajayjay.

I felt like a normal human a lot more quickly.  And I was moving easier than my previous experience.  I actually was up and down the stairs with not much trouble a couple days after coming home.  My biggest challenge was getting in and out of bed, so we actually switched beds for a couple nights as my master bed was just too high for me to get in and out of with the incision pain.

I don't know about these people claiming they didn't bleed for weeks - that was NOT my experience.  I was bleeding for a good month, although it wasn't as heavy after about 2 weeks or so?

Overall, my second pregnancy and a planned c-section just were much better.  It probably didn't help that my first c-section was my first surgery ever and my body just HATED it after 9 months of lousy pregnancy and a several hour induced labor (which they did because the docs apparently knew I had a "ticght pelvis", but were unaware of how bad the situation actually was).

Living baby and mom are what matters in the end.  Do NOT feel bad about needing a c-section.  Do what you can to plan ahead for the couple weeks of challenges post-surgery and then just enjoy that baby.[/quote]
