I just had my 2nd 4wks ago. I can understand why some people get nervous but both of mine went well, no problems. I was disappointed with my 2nd because they had to put me to sleep in the end so I missed the first baby cry but I still got a wonderful cuddle as soon as I woke up. With both I was up walking the next day and with both in the first 24hrs it felt like it was going to take a lot to recover but in all honesty I was out shopping with my babies a week later. The day I got home from the hospital with this one I was chasing after my toddler because I had no other choice. I hope you have a fantastic delivery and recovery too!

Congrats! Having a csection can sound so scary an make you very nervous being that you are not in control of your body. I have had 3 an they all went well thank the lord. Its really nothing to be worried about due to it being your first. I will say depending on how well you take pain you should be able to move around after a few hours although you will not be able to move very fast. Coughing an sneezing is the part that ***** you have to press a pillow or ever your hand to push on the site to keep from it reopening. Other than that you will be fine hun. Dont over think it or you are bound to frighten yourself.
