| For the ladies who had a c-section.... I know someone who had a baby about 10 months ago by c-section....now she's going to have another one on Thursday ( yes, that's right, a 10 month old and now a new born ) I have never had a c-section nor do I know anyone who has... But when she had the first one she was 90% bed ridden for a solid 2 weeks and in extreme pain...the next 2 weeks she could get around some what but it was as if she had been in a car accident, very slow and still very uncomfortable.... She's so afraid it's going to happen again this time....I told her that maybe the first time was unusual and it wont be as bad this time....So my ? is, are c-sections that debilitating and she's most likely going to have a repeat like the last time?

| Everyone has a different tolerance to pain - so maybe hers is very low. I believe it also depends on whether or not it was an emergency. With emergency C-sections, the internal cut is usually vertical. With my C-section 24 years ago, I was up and out of bed within 12 hours. I was not bed ridden at all and although there were some movements that were not pleasant for a while (bending over), it wasn't bad.

| Thanks Jody, that sounds reassuring...yes the first one was unplanned... I just hope the last one was unusual in severity and this one is easier but I have no experience with this to advise her on it so if anyone has any tips to help in her recovery it would be helpful...

| I had a c-section 25 years ago and I am petite and had twins. I was up and about in 1 day and was able to get around well enough to care for my twins without much pain at all and I consider myself to have a low pain tolerance. I hope your friend has a much better experience this time around. |

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | Speedy recovery. I have never had a c-section both mine were standard delivery. I did have an emergency hysterectomy last November...I was walking around 6 hours later. I think Jodie is right, it depends on her pain tolerance. No it's not easy AT ALL, but you have force your self to feel better and think positive. Tell her good luck and hope all goes perfect for her!

| My SIL had a c-section two years ago, and it was planned. My niece was 11lbs at birth, so there was no way she was going to have natural birth. She was in the hospital for a few days for recovery, but she was fine after a week with tylenol and taking it easy. After that she did take some laxatives and stool softener. The c-section did leave her stomach floppy disfigured for a while, but then it went back to normal. I think women have more issues when its an emergency c-section rather than planned, since they are in a hurry moving all your organs to get to the baby.

| I had an emergency c-section 4 years ago and was like your friend. I was in so much pain and couldn't move for a couple of weeks. A little over a year ago I had a hysterectomy. They cut through my c-section scar (only made it bigger - they had to cut from hip to hip ). I had no problems this time. I was feeling fine the very next day. I know the hyster isn't quite the same has having another c-section, but it is kind of similar.

| Well, from the responses so far it sounds like her first one was not typical, but not unusual, I hope she's up and around soon , she will have two in diapers

within 23 hr. of delivery. On the way home from the hospital I stopped at the grocery store and the cashier asked how old was the baby ( I briefly considered lying), I told her 24 hrs. and she looked wide eyed at me and said "Oh" , I was so embarrassed...he looked like he was a couple of months old...he was also the biggest in the nursery ...

| Oh no! I was hoping c-sections were easier. I didn't have a c-section with my son and I had no actual complaints about the actual delivery. It was easy. About 1 and a half hrs later, that's another story. That is what made me want a c-section for the next. I dunno now....

Donating YT 11K Club Member | IDK i heard they are dangerous from some ppl and that they are not painful at all for others. I am hoping that you a)don't feel a thing,b) that there's no scarring and c)that it's safe cause i def. plan to have c-sections when i have kids. I'm scared to have natural! BTW is she having a boy this time cause I saw on the news that like 90% of babies born right after another is born a male.

| I had a C section 16 years ago and it wasnt so bad... My first was born naturally 21 years ago and I was up and around in about the same amount of time. There are a few things that are harder with a section but honestly, it was easier the second time around... I was up in a few hours. Dont get me wrong, there is pain, but not any that isnt worth every second. Good Luck to your friend. d
