You need to talk to your doctor.
Reply:I had a c section and it I FELT EVERYTHING! It was awful!


My doctor was one of those mexican shady doctors and wow ive never gone through something like that and hope to never again.I wish you well,i was allowed 2 mins on the internet from a very cute cozy little cell i like to call home.
Reply:I had a C-section with my son. They give you this stuff to swallow before you go to surgery that prevents you getting sick. You won't be able to eat until you're able to pass gas again. I stayed a total of 3 days but it just depends on you. The first time you get up to walk is the most painful, but everytime after that gets a little easier. You just have to get up and do it or the pain won't go away. After they take your baby and get him cleaned up and make sure he's healthy, they will bring you your baby. My C-section was amazing, it's over in no time. It's a bit scary, I know, but it's all worth it in the end.
Reply:you will be fine antistatic didn't hurt me, i felt sick but never tho up you will be walking in before 24 hours and you will be touching the baby's face soon as you can but want hold till you get outta the room
Reply:Everyone is different so there are alot of differences of opinion on this question. My wife had a c-section and while in hard labor had an epidural. With the epidural she was still in pain. They gave her a total of three rounds of drugs and it didn't work. They finally opted for the c-section when she could not deliver vaginally. She was taken into the operating room and they proceeded to give her the spinal. Once again another drug that did not work. She was still able to feel and move. They made the decision to put her under general anesthesia. She felt no pain! She came into recovery with our son and myself about 30-40 minutes after and was able to hold our son. This happened about 4 in the afternoon. My wife was eating that evening. She was up and walking the next morning. Her Dr. told her she had to be off of IV pain meds and be able to walk and use the restroom unassisted to be able to leave. We went home the next day! I was more scared than she was about her having a c-section! The sooner you are up and moving they say the faster you will recover but do not overdue it or push yourself too hard! Good luck and think positive!
Reply:my only child was born by c-section back in september and honestly it was a breeze. i was in labor for 33 hours and they gave it to me because i couldn't dialate past 7cm. it was a lot less painful than the long labor. they wheeled me into a room my son's father was with me the whole time talking to me. they didn't tell me what was going on, but i really didn't want to know. the father and i started talking, he comforted me because i was nervous, there was a little tugging and pulling, but i felt no pain. a minute later we heard the baby crying. it was one of my most special memories. his father got to hold him first, but i couldn't because i was kinda numb from drugs before the surgery. i was tired so more than anything i just wanted to sleep. i stayed for 3 nights after that because i was good to go then. i was able to walk later the next day.


healing was a little different. i got the stitches out a week later and it was HARD to hold the baby while i healed. it was also too painful to breastfeed while i healed, so i ended up bottle feeding instead. i could barely walk the first few days. sneezing, coughing and all of that hurt like the dickens. but i was good in about a week in half.


this may sound kind of vain, but my son was also really cute because he didn't have the cone shaped head from the birth canal. i know its shallow, but as a mother, i know you know how cool it is to have a cute baby.


i'll probably have to get a c section with my next child and i kind of like knowing that i won't have to deal with another long labor. healing is a bit of a pain for the first few days so as long as you have a good support system, you'll be fine.
Reply:i had a c-setion with my first and have to have one this time round...it was not bad at all...they will most likely give you a spinal that does not hurt as they numb the area firts...then you wont be able to feel anything from under your boobs down they put a curtain up...so u cant see what they are doing...teh anethatist stays the whole time right next to you...very reassuring...it takes a whole 3 mins to get the baby out once they start...then they hold the baby over the curtain show u straight away then take it an clean it then they lay it on you for a min all the while you are getting stitched up...then they give the baby to your partner who goes to recovery with it to wait for you...it takes about 30mins to stitch you up...you will get the teeth chatters thats normal :-) then in recovery you hold your baby again give it its first feed an your in there for about an hour then they take you to your room the spinal will start to wear off,...while it does the nurse will look after your baby..ie change nappies hand to you for feed etc the baby stays with you though...


then in the morning they get you up an about an its all good...


c-section is easier....
Reply:okay when they are putting the needle in it'll sting a little and then go away..


...with the anistetic properly applied no you won't feel aything but numbness and maybe a little sleepy..oh you might feel a little cold as well because the operating room is cool..


...they say that you an get some nausea from the doctors pushing the abdominal to get the baby out...I didn't, I had alot of other things on my mind..dumb stuff like where'd I put my underwear and junk of that nature LOL..


...you'll be able to eat about so many hours after you've delivered depending on the hospital and time of your c-section..


...Most hospitals require you to stay for 4 days that depends on your hospital and the complications of your delivery, like a smooth one and if your healing process is beginning okay, and that you're managing well with using the restroom and things like that..


...my hospital made me get up and walk the very next day, in the morning, and my c-section was at 2 pm the day before..talk about pain...that doesn't explain it enough U_U


..I got to hold my baby about an hour and a half to 2 hours after I had her..


...in my opinion I'd say c-section is but then I've never had a vaginal birth..Recovery time is A LOT longer than it is with a vaginal! nothing else needs to be said.


I'm pregnant with my second child and I'm fighting like hell to have a vaginal delivery with this one eating healthy, exercising and all just so I don't have issues that might lead to me having another c-section!!!
Reply:I had a c-section 6 months ago. I would never want to have a vaginal birth. My c-section was an emergency, so I didn't get anything to swallow. I did not feel any pain. You can feel a little bit of like pulling kinda. You will probably have to stay 3 days. That is how long I stayed. You have to wait until your legs are unnumb before you can walk of course. I didn't but I was under a special circumstance. You will peobably be able to hold your baby within an hour, but that is alot better than some people who can't hold their baby for a week. I think that you will do fine.
