re: Swelling after a c-section

I was extremely swollen for about 3 weeks.

Quoting Asher's mommy [Expecting :" There is NOTHING worse than not being able to see your baby for 24 hours after they are born. It was horrible! "

I cant tell you the amount of research I have done hoping to encourage them to let me hold this baby even if its a nicu baby before they take them away and make me wait or try to let me room in as two of the places I am looking to deliver will let you room in with your nicu baby talk about awesome! My sons apgar scores were higher than most normal newborns so I know he could have handled that and I am hoping the same for this baby who knows momma but Ill be doing a second csection so bring on the swelling for me too I wish you luck

Quoting Moody Momma:" I had my section last thursday. I started noticing last night that my legs, hands and belly are swelled. ... [snip!] ... parents are helping with my 3 yr old) its kind of hard. So is it normal to have some swelling? My main concern is my belly. "

I had swelling after mine, but mine was in a more embarassing spot lol but that was while I was still in the hospital..
