Has anyone had day case/key hole surgery?
How painful or easy is the recovery? And do you think I would be able to breastfeed my baby cause pumping is hard work 😅
And any position recommendations would be nice!

Learn more about our guidelines.I’ve had three lots of keyhole surgeries before having my baby, and recovery was pretty quick unless they’re doing anything major in there! Around 2-3 days later the pain won’t be so bad, and I felt totally normal after about a week.
In terms of breastfeeding, you’re fine after general anaesthetic to feed as normal. Just make sure you say you’re breastfeeding so they ensure any painkillers are short-lived/safe!
They’ll try to tell you that baby cannot be on a ward with you if you’re in the UK, in my experience, but that’s rubbish. If you are exclusively breastfeeding you are absolutely entitled to have your baby with you, with another adult for safety reasons. It might be that they have to move you to maternity ward after the surgery to accommodate. Lots of them don’t even realise that you are entitled to this accommodation, so stand firm if that’s what you want to do after you recover. Chances are, you’ll be in and out within a handful of hours unless there are complications!
Side lying or rugby ball are the best positions to try to not pull your stitches! Good luck! 😊
@Rhiann it’s a at private hospital practice so I don’t even think there is a maternity bit
