So this pregnancy was bleh!! I also hated the 3rd trimester. Also after my month long early labor my 3rd child made his way out. I've spent a total of 3days at the hospital going home tomorrow 4/19. But I did want to share my experience with how vaginal and csections have been wildly different. We'll this whole labor was different and weird. I've had the epidural labor with my first didn't feel a thing. Great easy . I had my 2nd with sever swelling from hips down and had 3 epidurals and none worked. So with this one after I was admitted for my water trickling no big gush. I spent 9 hrs with my water ruptured also was given pitocin to make contractions stronger and even after dr broke my water further and I even had a contraction monitor put in me I had very sever contractions 2 mins apart and yet could not feel any major pain it felt very slight and I was able to go like that for 5 hrs till drs recommended my csection cause I would open more then 7. Also a csection feels soooo strange!

I wouldn't open more then 7*****
A csection was just sooo weird no pain of course but the sounds of your muscles being cut open and the sound of the metal clamps that hold your innerds open was just weird. Baby was taken out and began to pee. And being the 1st csection of the day ment drs took they're time sewing up and closed me up very nicely that I barely have any redness or not very noticeable. But man the anesthesia wearing off was the worst I was so freaked itchy!!!! And the itchiness went away almost 12 hrs after the procedure.also got my tubal ligation done which is awesome!!! So now the recovery.....I started walking on my own after 24 hrs My back and butt started hurting and I needed mobility to get baby. I was suppose to have nurses help but they were busy to I did it. And it was good now after I binded my belly with a csection binder and also an additional one from home and my belly binding cloth I made I'm great I feel great. I done rely on the nurses as much. I am given meds for pain which is about 5-7 for me and brings it down to a 2. Nurses are surprised how well I'm doing and  my mom in law is surprised and a bit annoyed I'm not in more pain as she describes her csections. But I'm happy baby is out now.im glad I'm handling all this well. Cause come Monday morning I have to walk my daughter to school. Well I hope you all get lucky and have an easy almost painless delivery like how I have and feel as well as I do cause it truly feels great then being sore and tired.
