Is anyone able to give their experiance on a planned c section?
With my first, I got a 3rd degree tear and I feel like I’m traumatised by it, but I’m also worried about having a c section and the recovery

I just had an elective C-section a week ago.
I chose one as I had a traumatic vaginal birth 4 years ago & just didn’t want to risk another episiotomy or an emergency C-section.
I mean the section was ok, it wasn’t as chilled as people make out, i was very nervous throughout but the staff were professional and reassuring.
Im still in pain & struggling to walk comfortably but each day gets easier. Honestly the worst part for me is the clexane injections every day 😩 xx

Best thing I did have a planned section. I have written a positive c section experience post and you can find it on my page 😊
