Anyone else have a c-section? How are you recovering? I attempted vbac but the placenta was separating from the baby so I had to get an emergency c-section. I’m 3 weeks post partum.

I had one on May 18th and I still struggle a little to bend all the way over and go on longer walks but for the most part I’m healing pretty well! How are you healing?

I’m 3 wks PP from a c-section as well! It’s definitely a more difficult recovery for me but I’ve had a hard time not pushing my limits. Having a toddler at home doesn’t help that. But when you remember that it is major surgery and look at the week by week healing - it is pretty amazing what we can do and continue to do to care for these little babes.

Meeeee 4 weeks ago
I’d say it’s going good so far
Just hard cause I’m alone with newborn and toddler

Had one May 6th, planned, That being said I’m still not cleared for strenuous activity. I have noticed I have less swelling and my recovery is faster this time than with my first which was emergency.

Me, I had an emergency C-section due to her being stuck in my pelvis, im 3 weeks pp and getting better, my incision still burns and hurts due to the nerve pain but today I walked (slowly) around the parks by my house and walked 1 and a half miles :) i was tired of brief walks around the block lol

I had a unexpected c-section on may 29th… honestly I thought it would be way scarier than what it was I’m glad my baby is okay and so am I. Only a few days into recovery and I’m doing so much better !
