sitting up

[babydue07182013]

Ok so for very obvious reasons going from laying down to sitting up in bed every few hours to feed/change a newborn at night is extremely painful. But everytime I go I can't help but imagine my incision splitting open. Please someone tell me that's not gonna happen lol this is my first time sleeping in my own bed tonight and I'm terrified

Idk what it looks like. They put a bandage over it after surgery that I remove myself on Thursday

I remember having the same fear but I realized why scare myself if it looks like its healing properly, do u have any drainage or bloody areas? It it looks like it sticked back on the edges I don't think it will happen as long as u take care of yourself, like get up properly using your hands not your abdominal muscles and sleeping on the side gave me so much pain afterwards so I slept on my back most of the time, and wearing a binder helped a lot, I'm not gonna say relax cause its impossible lol everything will be alright, its just the first two months r the most difficult especially after c-section, after that its going to be easier

I've had 3 c/s my last one was just on the 16th, my first was 6 yrs ago and yes it sucked. I couldn't stand upright for weeks and I couldn't lay flat for 4 weeks. Try sleeping propped up that way you don't over use your stomach muscles.

I can't tell you it won't happen because with my first one it didn't open but my second one it did. My advice try to get as much help as possible for the first two weeks because it no fun if it do open back up
