C section recovery

[Silliekid06]

It's been a week since Jaylah was born. The recovery after has been a struggle but I'm getting by.....has anyone had there surgery yet and do you feel like you have to start over as far as walking and getting out of bed...oan how do you sleep

Oh, sorry you are coughing. It's terrible when you have to cough. I have been having swelling as well. Hey, sorry to ask, but how's your bleeding? I noticed today there was an increase. I called my doctor but didn't seemed concern.... I'm just wondering if you're still having a lot of bleeding. Tomorrow will be a week since I delivered and it still hasn't slowed down.

Yes my feet did swell but it's was more of my left leg than my right....my left had the blood clot in it. I got nerves at first but it has gone down since thank god...but everything has been ok.it's the coughing that hurts but it's subsiding now and then

My feet became more swollen in the two weeks after my first c-section than any point of that pregnancy. I can't speak for this time, my lil guy is still in me!

My c-section is scheduled for July 12 and I'm looking forward to having my baby but not looking forward to having my 3rd c-section and worst of all the recovery. @VaniDavila my feet have never swollen up.@Silliekid06 thats the worst part is starting to walk again and getting out of bed or off the couch.

A question... Did you get swollen after when you got home? Did your blood pressure go up?

[VaniDavila]

I had my 3rd c-section on Friday and recovery has been a little easier than the other 2. It was difficult at first and painful, but I got through it.

The fist few nights when I got home I slept propped up with pillows and my feet elevated (my feet are swollen) but last night I slept as I normally do, except I elevated my feet.
