My sister had two caesareans (breech babies) and she was fine. The day after my sister looked like she couldn't stand up really straight and she held her wound a bit when she walked. Day after she was fine, walking around, had guests, doing everything.

You're a very brave woman, Aus _Suz!

I wouldnt go for all the water birth stuff tho....
Im sure tho not having lots of drugs in your body is good for recovery.

My daughter was telling me that some ppl now have a tummy tuck when they have their caesar.......:eek:

oh yeah they also said for the 1st day or so you may not know when you need to pee, cause you gots no feeling down there. so they tell ya just to go every few hours so you don't piss yourself.

and you need a catheter in you til you can walk around obviously cause for the first few days you are stuck in bed.

I thought they kept the epidural AND catheter in for a day or so....mmmm, apple juice!

For some reason I was really worried about peeing when I had my first baby....not sure why perhaps it was because it was my first....I was so scared was relieved when I did and nothing happened....silly me..

Im sure how it worked but I know they changed the way they did epidurals after my first baby...........apparently it was pretty dangerous u could end up with back pain and other complications....
I think they use to give big doses....

I listed a business for a lady who was telling me that she knows someone who lives in Townsville who is now a quadraplegic and in a wheelchair from an epidural gone wrong. :eek:

nah, basically what i said last week,

it's major surgery, risk of infection, blood transfusions, slow recovery ect, can't walk around for the 1st few days after, they say you can't drive for at least 3 weeks but some insurance companies won't insure you til at least 6 weeks.

but yeah, it's quick, you know exactly when the baby is gonna come(which to me ruins the whole surprise of it, but meh) but yeah that's bout it really.

If you have the choise -GO NATURAL......not caesar! oh and ignore all the myths about epidurals -THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!

ZiggyStar

Aus Suz, how many children do you have and what are their ages? I can't believe I don't know after all these pages. I think you've got two girls who are possibly about 10/11 and 15?

Too late...already got my doctor organised to ask the obstetrician who gave his wife a caesarean -- same chick who just did my hysteroscopy! I'm a big baby!

When I had my first daughter there was a lady that had a caeser and she couldnt even stand straight and she couldnt hold or bath her baby....:(

My first daughter I had an epidural my opinion the doctors can be as rough as they like then u pay with all the pain when it wears off...
The other 2 I had no drugs the recovery was absolutely amazing felt so much better than when I had the epidural....
U just have to remember whatever pain u have in labour its not going to last forever...once the babe pops out its over....no more pain...
mind over matter....:)

Depends....everyone's different, too. The only 1 of my 3 babies that I DIDN"T get an epidural for, was 10 pounds!!!! :( :eek:

51% of aussie births these days are caesars, and a very small perctage of that is for medical reasons.

the average for the rest of the world is about 30%

aussie girls are so lazy

Cool! I know all that so no surprises there. Phew! I was hoping you wouldn't come back with something new and scary!

It's quick, you can plan it, no agonising pain for 12+ hours and your pink bits stay the same shape and remain nice and tight! Sounds perfect to me!

Ya pink bits can stay the same if you have them naturally too.....the exercises aren't hard......;)
