C Section Congestion

Has anyone with a late December baby still got a congested baby? Took little one to doctors as concerned he’s now 12 weeks and been congested since around 2 weeks old. Told it was normal and c section babies can be like this until 5 months. I’ve never known anyone else’s baby to be like this.

Hi there, mine was born mid Dec via elective CS and also remains congested. Although CS babies can be congested and mucousy in the first few weeks the mode of birth unlikely to be the cause of nasal congestion now. My baby is quite refluxy and it’s the spitting up of milk as well as the dry air (especially at night) that’s causing the congestion. I find that humidifier in the room with an essential oil helps, as does some vapour oil in a warm bowl of water near the cot.. and the nose sucker thing whenever they are bunged up

Am I making the right choice?

I have recently decided to go for an elective C-section.
If this was your last birth experience would you do the same? I know it’s an individual choice but I keep doubting myself but I just had such a bad time… 😞

It was a Vbac …. Ended with…

-episiotomy with forceps
-retained placenta
-2litres blood loss with transfusion.
-GBS positive (probably going to be positive again)
-since birth 4 years ago i have been having issues with bowel incontinence 🙈

Husband help

FTM
We have to have an early elective c section for medical reasons on Friday. My husband seems not to understand recovery at all, suggesting we have his brother's within the week and go out for dinner etc at 2 weeks as I should have 'recovered' by then. This seems too much to me, am I being unreasonable?
