Has anyone else been through a bad time with a c section?

I had a c section 3 and a half weeks ago and it’s been a nightmare since. I was hoping to find some people to talk to who’s been through a traumatic healing process with a c section?

Me, had my second emergency c section 2 weeks ago (I tried for VBAC second time).
I’m also trying to heal an infected scar for the second time and it’s so hard since I have a lovely belly fold covering it now 🙃

On my second lot of antibiotics for this infection and I’m fed up of it now

Same! I had my second c-section 3 weeks ago today and I’m still in a lot of pain and haven’t healed

Pains

I’m 36 weeks pregnant I had my baby shower yesterday and when I got into bed last night i was in so much pain aching lower stomach and groin I barely slept all night as I was so uncomfortable. This morning I have been sick twice I don’t feel right I have aching in my lower back left side and cramps/pains in lower left of stomach and feeling sick. And idea what could be going on do you girls think I should phone triage?

How do people push for hours?

I thought the pushing stage was supposed to be quick so baby didn't get too stressed or stuck.

I pushed my 2nd for literally 10 minutes and they were already telling me baby was tired and I had to push harder. 🙃

But I just saw a video of a lady saying she pushed for 3 hours? Does it just depend on how baby is coping?
