By the time June 7th rolls around, I will have had two. I feel more prepared this time, I know what to expect. And yes, I will be primped. I'm having my hair, nails and toes done, and an eyebrow wax, LOL.

I will be 15 months and 20 days from my previous C-section.

I'll let you know how the second one goes. It is my mom's mandate (from me to her) that I get up and walk this time. No matter how much I whine, she's going to make me walk. Hopefully recovery will go smoother without 30 hours of labour beforehand and walking the halls.

I've had 2 c sections, 16 months apart. The second one was scheduled so I was prepared for it and much more relaxed because I knew what was coming. Recovery wise, I needed less pain medication with the second one, but it seemed to take a little longer to recover the second time around. With the second one, the pain was less intense but lingered much longer.

I had two. They were two years apart. I had very different experiences. My first was twins and I was delivered because of high blood pressure. I ended up just going in after a dr appt do I didn't have time to get much ready. During the surgery my blood pressure took a big dive and all the mess they had to give me made me a bit out of it. I had to be put in recovery for four hours before I saw my boys. I didn't really mind since I was pretty much asleep. My second was a scheduled one and went smoothly. No blood pressure drops do no extra meds. I was reunited after about 20 minutes. They just stitched me up and took me to my room

Recovery was about the same. My mom said I healed really fast but it seemed normal to me. When you have older children to care for I think it makes you have to stay active and helps recovery. I did pop my incision the first time around because my niece jumped on my belly. I just constantly reminded them to be gentle with me and that mommy had a big booboo

@Oceanis723: I'm terrified that my LO is going to pop my incision by jumping on me. That's what has me nervous. He's a handful and doesn't understand what's going on. He's only 15 months. I will just have to have a pillow on my lap at all times I guess.

@belleoftheballe. Even though it popped my incision I had no major damage. My doctor checked the area. It had a little bit of seepage (sorry I know that's gross) but noting major. It was healed enough to not be an issue. The second c section I didn't even have stitches they just glued it shut.

@belleoftheballe: I never thought to ask my hospital! I'm not pregnant yet (or trying) since my doc wants us to wait a year but that is something I will ask. I wonder why they wouldn't let me wear it after surgery...I want to look cute as possible for pictures and guest.

I haven't looked for any yet but I bought a sling from ModMom and I loved her fabric so I would probably start my search there.
