Recovery

For those who have had a c section... How long did it take for you to be able to move around without pain? I know it's only been two days but this *****!

my first was 2 weeks, my 2nd was about a week and a half, my husband went back to work when my daughter was 6 days old and by then I was cleaning the house and taking care of her and my 3 year old. it all depends on the person!

I actually just had my c section last Sunday and I feel great. I have had very little pain and my bleeding is over.  I would definately have another c section with my next kid.

Ye I agree with the last comment. I've also had a csection and it's really difficult. Sneezing is the worst! X

I have had two and they were 15 months apart from one another. The first one was sore and i couldn't laugh at first, but the hospital i was in had me up and walking shortly after bc it helps the healing process. The pain lasted for a couple days but lightened up by the time i went home and I didn't need pain medicine. My second was easier at first but i over did it and my internal stitches came out, physically. As long as you take it easy but don't baby yourself, the faster you'll be on your feet getting things done and enjoying your baby! Good luck! Also, taking an anti inflammatory (Advil) may help too.

Take it easy don't do so much because ur body wont heal and you don't want to get to the point were you feel you cant take care of your baby. Have ur partner help as much as he can

They have me on a pretty high dosage of norcos. The first day sucked. The second day was so much better now today I'm at home and I can barely move around again, I'm wondering if its because I did so much moving around this morning preparing to come home
