2 time c section mama here!! I feel you so deeply. This is going to sound awful, but trust me when i say this: MOVE!!! Move move move. Walk to the potty. Take a little stroll down the hall. Do it in little increments. Rest. And move again when you can. Obviously do not over do it. But if you keep moving and stay up on your pain meds, 2 weeks tops and the pain will be manageable again. I promise. Listen to your body. You got this 🤍 congratulations on your beautiful baby boy!!!

Staying at n top of your meds. Honestly I found that the more I moved the better I felt

No pls, there were 3/4 people in my ward with the same name as me. I kept asking for pain meds over and over for hours, turns out they were just dosing up the other girls with my name instead 😭

I don’t have recommendations for the pain itself other than make sure to stick to the times given and mention it if it’s definitely like unbearable. BUT MY BIG THING WAS, Don’t forget to take the stool softeners!!! And request a gas x if they’ll give it 😅

GIRL 🥴 my 1st born was a vaginal birth 12 yrs ago, and now I'm having my 3rd c section in a month.....c section recovery is NO JOKE AT ALL 😩😩cold/warm compress on or around the scar helped me, it depends on your pain tolerance or preference honestly....

it was a lot to process, and i didn’t have much pain management. they gave me dilaudid for one day and the rest of the time i had to take tylenol, but the more you move around the easier it becomes to deal with the pain. i know it seems like a lot to move around so soon, but it really does help.

Honestly walking about was the best. Only had pain meds for a day after i went home and they wouldnt touch it so just fucked them off

Avatar

Maybe I have a high pain tolerance but after my c-section the pain was bad the first day but after that it didn’t really bother me I actually opted to do a c-section this time 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Avatar

alternate between tylenol and motrin! take hot showers wherever you can and don’t pick anything heavy. congrats on your bundle of joy 🩵

You gotta move, even if you don’t feel like it. Mobility is key to recovery and it gets easier every day. Day 1 is rough but tomorrow will be better.

Congrats, he’s beautiful 🩵

Ways to induce labour

I’m currently 35 weeks so still have a bit of time but I previously had an emergency C-section the consultant told me I can have a Vbac but it’s not very likely. I want to avoid another C-section as much as I possibly can but if I don’t go into labour on my own their not going to try to induce me they r just going to give me another C-section.

Does anyone have any ways to help me try and go into a natural labour

Thanks in advance

Induction or C Section

Hi!
Any mums out there that have been through either an induction or c section fancy sharing there experience and reasoning behind why they chose one or the other?
I’m currently 31 weeks and have been advised that I will likely need to deliver between 38 and 39 due to a couple of complications. It’s a little way off yet but I really can’t decide what route I’d rather go down.

I know a lot of inductions end in a C Section anyway, so I was leaning towards a C Section but the recovery time with being a FTM scare me a little bit, I also know I will likely want more children in the future and not sure how this would impact anything?
I also want to experience a vaginal birth.

Has anyone got any positive induction or C section stories they would be happy to share? Thank you 🥰
