How much pain can I expect to be in after a c-section?
I have had 2 csections… going on my third in 7 weeks. My first one, the doctor didn’t make me get up until the next day. My second one, the doctor made me get up the same day. It made a HUGE difference. I healed alot faster the second time around. The pain is intense but after about 2 weeks, things start to get a lot easier. After my first, it was months before I felt normal again. Even though I wasn’t in pain, it was sore when there was pressure to that area. I don’t know if it was because it was my first surgery ever, or if it was because I didn’t get up and walk the first day. You will have to teach your children that they need to crawl up into your lap. Keep a pillow around to cover your belly so that cuddling with them is safe. Good luck to you.
