2nd time csections

So I am just wondering, and preparing, for my 2nd csection.

Its all scheduled for the 29th of this month !!!! AHHHHH lol

I was just wondering how it went for other moms. With my first I was up and walking the next day - and the pain was not TERRIBLE!!! I think it was a lot of adreniline from having a new baby and just being excited.

How was it the 2nd time around? Worse - better - the same. I know its different for everyone but any advice is welcome =)




Also, did anyone go into labor before their scheduled csection? I've seen that happen to someone & they were in SOOO much pain after. I was wondering if that was from laboring and then having a csection.

TIA

I went into labor the day of my C-section and it was fine, I had an early one luckily.

It was more exciting since I was more with it during his birth, but the recovery was a little worse (my kids are only 21 months apart) because of the scar tissue etc. It was easier, in a way, because I knew what to expect.

I was up and walking the same day. I can't stand being bed ridden. Pain wasn't bad either. I'm gearing up for my 3rd on the 31st of this month and I'm not nervous about recovery at all.

SIL has had 5 she said hers got easier with each one. I hope that's true!

I have had three c-sections and going to have a fourth. My first and third were the easiest. The only reason my second was bad was because of the stupid epidural. They put it in wrong and I had horrible headaches. The healing of my belly was the same with each one. Sore but not horrible. I dont take pain medication and I didn't with any of them except for the headaches everything was fine! Good luck!!

my kids will be almost 19 months apart. how much worse are we talking? lol like a 3 on a scale of 1-10? I was up and walking a few hours after my daughter and I was able to shower, pick up the room ( idk why i was doing that) and just wanted to go the hell home!

I was also like that after my first.
I needed the pain meds more after my second, it was harder to get up and out of bed. But, I still got up when they took the cath out and showered the next morning, I just moved slower and was more tender.. I also had a lot of incontinence, which I never had with my first.

man I never did stop tinkling at time.
ok so just stay on time with pain meds. got it.
thanks!~

if i think about it - im pretty sure i was taking the pain meds every chance i could lol!!

but I stopped when I got home - and was totally fine!! the initial getting up off the bed was slightly painful but then once i got moving it was over.

I am just afraid i might go into labor and then might have to get an emergency c section !!
