Hi everyone
I'm due for a c section in a few days. Baby is breech and refused to turn. I'm a FTM and quite unsure about what to expect I hoped some of you who had planned or elective c sections could give me some of your insight. Please, no one whose had an emergency c section as I believe your experience is quite different.
- does the epidural hurt? I mean going into sober not after 75h of labour etc.
-how long did it take to go from OP to recovery ward?
- could your partner cut the cord?
- did you have to have an intravenous antiobiotic as a prophylaxis?
-what sort of stuff did you do to make the first solids toilet trip :) tolerable?
- did you use a belt/band? Was it helpful? I've seen some websites say it's great others saying your muscles should do the work and the belt makes them lazy.
-is celexane (sp?) anti coagulant injections given to everyone or those with risk factor?
-how long did it take to recover?
-overall was it worse/easier than you thought it might be?
Thanks In advance
