I'm hoping that a couple of people who had c-sections would be kind enough to share their post-birth experiences.
I've been told I have a low-lying placenta. There's a very good chance it will move in time, but it would be silly not to think about how I might manage if it doesn't and I have a section.
DP will have a fortnight at home to help me, and then after that I'll be on my own during the day with the baby and my little girl who will be 2. Will I manage? I don't have any family to help. I do have friends in the area but all are either expecting babies in the new year, or they work.
I'm clueless about the realities of healing after a section. What was your experience?
