I will have to have a C-Section due to fibroid removal. Can anyone share their experiences with that?

I just found out that my c section is scheduled 3 days before my due date. I hope I don't have contractions

I too had a c section due to fibroid removal. My doctor did not want my uterus to contract from being in labor. My first daughter the doctor took 1 week early. I'm not 32 weeks with my second. My contract section is scheduled only days before my due date

I sat down and then got hubby to hand baby to me for the first week. After that, if baby was wait high I could pick him up fine. It was just if he was on the floor it was hard so husband set up the portacot in the lounge room with the bassinet insert so that he wasn't that low for me when I needed to put him down and husband went back to work.

Thank you! I know it will go well. I just know the first couple of weeks afterward I probably won't be able to pick up the baby on my own.

I had a fantastic experience with a csection. It was very calm and stressfree despite the health situation Had my husband with me up by my head and a blue sheet across my chest so couldn't see any of the operation. I could feel some tugging and pulling and then he was here! Afterwards I went up to the ward. The next day they took the catheter out and showered me then I was free to move in and out of bed. By that night I was just taking paracetamol and was taking tiny walks to get things moving again. I'm sure you'll do great, good luck!

I have had two C Sections and a Vbac. C Sections are much harder to recover from but both of my experiences were absolutely beautiful! You think you'll be out of it and just blah but no! You can still feel everything, minus the pain and you're awake for the whole thing. It's absolutely amazing.
