c section tales

I'm booked to have a c section on the 23rd and wanted to hear experiences good and bad. I'm really over weight 350lb so am concerned

My experience was not the best. My c-section went great it was after that was horrible. The second I was out of the room my epidural fell out and no one noticed! I kept telling the nurse how much pain I was in and she kept changing my gown bc it was sopping wet. The medicine was just running Down my back.. They finally figured it out 24 hrs after surgery and by that time I was in the worst pain of my life! Then I started shaking uncontrolably bc my nurse forgot to check my catheter all night and the bag was completely full! I had to wait for them to remove it and then get up ( on no pain meds) to use the bathroom! The hospital had the nurse come In and apologize before I was released!

Mine was the worst! I gained 65lbs when I was preggo and was 300 solid whn I went to have her sooo full of fluid I was diagnosed wit preeclymsia, hypertention, gestational diabeties, and morbid obesity. I was m icu with a ventalater down my throat 4 almost a week whn I woke up I thought I had jus had her I didnt kno Wht happened 2 me my fam had 2 tell me everything! Worst expierience in my life! My babby was released b4 me I was there 4 two wks. They also had 2 keep stickinh me 4 the epidural cause of my size they said... Now preggo again n scared 2 death but I jus pray n put it n gods hands good luck!

I'm hvn mine on the 15th June an I'm terrified thnks for postin ths question I'm defintly insistn on the strechy thng it seems as tho movemnt helps wth the healin process? Hw lng is a standard c section?  

[momabear86]

Defo movement and walking up straight. I believe times differ but its about 2 hours. I have an overhang belly so heard put a thin pad there to ensure you keep it dry.
