2nd c section recovery with a toddler..

My LO will only be 12m when I have my c section. I'm so scared not being able to pick him up for 6 weeks. How was everyone's recovery after their second c section?

Tough but I bought a little table to have my little one for feedings instead of using a high chair.
I didn’t pick him up from the crib.. I lowered the crib to where he could climb out & removed one side of it and set it up as a toddler bed. I changed him on the floor as well

Was fine - a lot better than I thought would be! Recovery second time around was a lot quicker, I was picking toddler up by 3 weeks pp and felt completely fine

Rough but it will get better with time.. I cried and cried feeling sorry that I was neglecting 2yr old. Now at 3mo post partum we are attached like glue

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
