C section fear

Praying for you I'm sorry your doing this by yourself. I hope you have a good recovery and you and baby are happy sorry I dont have any advice I was alone in the hospital and a single mom but I didnt have C-section that would make me scared too. Just remember the nurses are there to help you and ask for anything you need they will help you dont feel like your bothering them.

Hi, can you ask to stay longer in the hospital? I think 5 days would be a good option or even longer. I had a surgery years ago and I asked to stay longer because I did not have any support. Going to th bathroom may be hard in the beginning

I had c sections with both my babies. I feel that a lot is scaremongered into us around sections. I thought I wouldn’t be able to sit up or go upstairs. I was fine both times. I was in hospital with my first for 28 hours. With my second I was in for 18 hours. They didn’t let me go home until I could stand and shower myself, passed sufficient fluids and able to dress myself.
After a section you’re able to carry the baby. For the first couple of days just enjoy the rest with your newborn. They won’t do much either. By the time they’re aware, your muscles are getting back to normal x

I had a C-section as well and I was walking by the second day at the hospital, they also required me to stay 3 days after the baby was born just to make sure I could handle on my own. You could ask if you could stay longer while you recover so they can help with baby. Honestly my recovery wasn’t bad at all, like yes they recommend not lifting anything heavy and the car seats are normally pretty heavy but I didn’t really struggle with getting around after leaving the hospital you just have to take it moderately easy but the babies sleep a lot their first few months.
