Ya my baby is breeched so thats why im having a section. They have me booked in for may 5-8 but i dont think im gunna last that long imma see if they will do it earlier! My period due date is april 26 but my ultrasound isnt measuring til may 15 they say they do surgery a week before ur due date. Which they are sayin is may instead of april :( but i think they should do it the end of April im in alot of pain my pelvic feels like its gunna break into i have a bad back i was in a car accident and still suffering from it and being pregnant doesnt make it easier lol i cant walk i feel like crap and i think its soon time lol i dont wanna go in labor out of no where lol id feel more comfortable walkin in to the hospital and being ready for it lol.

I have had two and will be having my 3rd in December. Recovery isn't that bad but it is uncomfortable , make sure you take your medicine when needed and rest as much as you can. Walking helps heal too, they told me the more I walked the faster if feel better. You will be on bed rest for 6-12 hours depending on your hospitals rules. I never breast fed my boys and honestly I don't think it helps you heal faster. The first week is the hardest cause you don't realize how much you really use your tummy muscles until you have surgery on it! Just listen to your body and rest when you can ! Good luck!

I had a emergency c section in 2011 I didnt think the healing process was that bad at all. I breastfed my son for 7 months. ( breastfeeding helps you recover faster). I got to the hospital already in labor dialated to a 6. They gave me a catheder.  And rushed me to the surgery room gave me a spinal tap and next thing I know my little guy had arrived! He was breech that's why I had a csection. I will be having another one in 5weeks 3 days. Good luck!

I had to have an IV awhile ago because I wasn't feeling my son move, so I went to the ER and then they told me to go to the hospital since I was like 30 some weeks (but don't remember exactly what week I was at)... anyway I went to the hospital and got wheeled up to Labor & Delivery.. the nurses asked me a bunch of questions after I went to the bathroom and got in the hospital gown and put on the monitors to check my sons heartbeat and to record the contractions... time passed by and my nurse brought in an IV bag, I'm not a big fan of needles so my fiancé at the time whose now my husband held my hand while the nurse started my IV... She gave me a numbing shot before she stuck the IV in my wrist and that kinda hurt a little bit but only lasted for like a minute... sorry this is long but hope it helps you
