And if you've had a c-section before how was it while you were healing? And for those who had given birth vaginally did yu get stitches if so how was it while healing? Lol I'm just nervous!

Don't worry. I've never had a csection but I've given birth twice. I'm due next week with my third. My first vaginal I had stitches down there. I think the first day or two I felt a little sore but mostly when I sat down. It was itchy! They gave me a spray to help with the itching and they dissolved on their own so they didn't have to take them out. The pushing was the best part. That's when you're almost finished. When a contraction would come I would push and it would take any pain away for me. I got the epidural both times. Once while in pain which was a good distraction cause I was scared and the second time I got it before any pain and it just felt like a pinch so no worries if u get one. You got this! Lol so do I when its my time! I still get pretty nervous but by the time it's time you're more ready to get it over with anyway so that helps too. No worries! Millions and billions of mothers have done it or else our world would be empty. Atleast we have options for pain relief then it's much easier

I just had my first baby 8 weeks ago via c-section. I was having contractions but baby was head down face up rather than down and with each push her heart rate descended so they rushed me to OR. Recovery wasn't bad at all. The same day they had me walking up and down the hallway. Slowly of course. By day three I was doing everything normal minus bending down or carrying heavy stuff. Women make it seem like theyre in bed for weeks but not really. I was up and on the go.  No one could believe I had just had surgery. So if worst case scenario you end up having a c-section, you'll be fine :) the only thing that hurts is when you cough or sneeze.
