It`s now 2 weeks since my c/s and since about Saturday I have felt much better, but with Matthew being sick with the flu I`ve had to get up and down to him so many times in the night that my scar has been a little tender and at the change table it`s at the right height for him to kick Mummy right on her scar, it feels more bruised now when he does kick in that area. I know I`ve been doing a few things I shouldn`t be doing and my belly does remind me.
Now just trying to think of when they got me up after the c/s, it would have been about 3pm the following day, so 22 hours after the op. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been best if they got me up sooner to move around it might have been so painful, looking back at it all now the memories of pain certainly fade.
I was talking to a lady a few days ago she has an 11 week old and had a c/s and says she`s still tender and she also mentioned the pain of having a c/s. I`m glad Im not the only one here who thinks c/s are painfull.
Sarah - Your like me what skin to skin contact, as I`ve told you I was in recovery for 2 hours and didn`t see my son until 8pm and he was born at 5.15pm. Sounds like you had a few awful midwives there.
Kat - It`s wonderful that our DH`s help us out like that when we really do need them. Fancy that they wouldn`t believe you that you had an infection, glad you got some attention eventually.
Kerryn - You poor thing having to walk all that way after a c/s, sometimes you`d like to see them do it and just stand back and watch how they cope.
