hey again Michelle

No, I was a full time worker throughout my whole pregnancy, found it hard to fit exercise in, I worked until I was 39 weeks with my 1st one. I was very fit though, never been overweight or had any issues with my health at all before the operation.

My c section with my 1st wasnt nice at all I had an epidural with spinal block combined, and they couldnt get the epidural to fully work I had to have it several times before it worked, then they said if it didnt work they would have to knock me out cause they couldnt give me anymore, maybe I was slightly overdosed who knows, but I was shaking like a leaf, especially while they were stitching me back up and felt terribly ill, couldn't breathe properly, and was passing out during the op cause my blood pressure went so low, and was breaking out in cold sweats. I thnk I am more scared of the operation itself than the recovery, the recovery is a step by step process for me. I am not sure how badly i would rate my c section recovery, but it took me 6 months before I could walk properly, and even then i was very tender when bending/standing/sitting/lifting etc, was about 12 months before I was healed enough to start escercising to loose my baby weight. I am having a c section again thursday, and I know if i can get through the operation I will recover - probably slowly as my body heals slowly with everything. But i have been eating terrific in the months leading up to the op, so lets hope that might have some sort of influence how I heal? I would much rather a vaginal birth, but having a previous c section and looking at having another big baby I am too much of a risk apparently, I dont know but its my last baby so I will have the op thursday and take things step by step, the operation being first, which scares the hell outta me but Im sure ill be fine. Oh and last time my scar was closed with the surgical glue too so I dunno if that could of had some affect on how i recovered either?
