The group “c-section mamas” is super active and has been really helpful with questions like this!
My c section with my son wasn’t scheduled nor planned, but not going to lie, the recovery is very brutal. After the first week, it does get a lot better. The thing I bought was a c section ice pack. It helped so much. And if they give you a binder, WEAR IT! if not, buy one. It helps SOO much.
My last csection wasn’t scheduled but I will say the greatest thing was a shower bench. I could barely stand after my C-section and being able to sit and shower helped so much. Also if you have an adjustable bed base or can use one it will help getting up. Sitting up from laying down was very painful for me. I had massive swelling.
My first c section wasn’t planned , planing one this time around though. The shower was a big help on standing up straight with less pain . The warm water was very soothing
Great question! I have a scheduled c section for 12/6 and would love to hear how other mom’s procedures went!
