Elective C

I had an emergency C but my friend had an elective with her first and is having an elective with her second. She’s got a meeting soon to discuss dates etc but she said it was a much more relaxed experience, you know when it’s going to happen and she’d recommend it to anyone considering

I had an elective section and it was a good experience. The theatre was very calm and the staff were great. My post-op care was awful but the hospital were short staffed as it was Covid. Healing took a few weeks but I walking next morning and was driving after about 2 weeks xx

I did (March last year). 🙂
It was nice and relaxed, knew exactly when he was going to be born, no surprises. Went in at about 7am and walked out with the little guy the next day around 2pm.
Recovery was all good, obviously everyone is different. I think I was off the pain meds at about a week as I was fine.
I’d say the moment they give you the go ahead to walk around - do it. Just don’t over do it. I got told off at the hospital as I didn’t want to sit down again 😂
If you got any questions, feel free to message x

Loved it, had two and will have a third.
Up and walking, showering alone and looking for coffee about 10-12 hours after. Took public transport home after my first and went to Costco on day 5.

Everyone is different but I had no real pain at all and didnt even finish the medication the second time. I recovered well both times, no real need for support. Just get full cotton granny knickers, set pill alarms and stay mobile.
