[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF. If you have a c-section you won’t be recovered by the first week.[/quote]

Newsflash, she won't be recovered a week after a vaginal birth either.

I had two natural births and both times I was told under no uncertain terms to remain in bed with my legs closed for one week. I could get up to go to the bathroom and shower, that's it. [/quote]
This is not normal. Was this in the US?[/quote]

Lol, it's absolutely normal. I think giving birth in a hospital is abnormal. This is standard care when you choose an out of hospital birth. It's actually quite nice to just relax and be taken care of after the marathon of labor. Obviously the newborns stayed with me and we were able to breastfeed with no issues. Older child(ren) come and visit in bed until it's time for rest again. Also, midwives come to you for home visit checkups instead of having to haul a newborn to a germ-filled pediatricians office.

You really would do well to open your mind to a better way. [/quote]

It sounds both patronizing and like a good way to watch your baby die in labor. Glad your babies survived. [/quote]

+1 PP seems to forget all of the dead and disabled babies that women used to deliver. My oldest wouldn’t be here w/o a very swift emergency c-section.[/quote]
