Hope someone can help me as I was seriously freaked out by my midwife app yesterday.
I went in knowing I wanted an elective cesarean, as my first experience had resulted in 48 hours of labour then emergency cs. The midwife basically spent an hour telling me the merits of a natural birth, and ended with if I wanted an elective cesarean I would have to inject myself for a week after with blood clot reducing drugs and def wouldn't be able to lift/hold my 1yr old for 6weeks.
I'm just wondering if she's trying to freak me out? I havnt heard about these injections before. Has anyone else had to do them. And also how long really can u not lift your older child? I guess I'm just panicking as my child is only 1 so obv still needs to be carried around,lifted into cot etc and husband / mum will not be around for whole 6weeks to help.
Thanks for any response. X
