Hi all -
I’m considering a Vbac vs elcs after an elcs for dd1 who was breech. One thing which is putting me off is how much pain I was in after c-section and how difficult I found moving around (I fainted the day after as the pain was so sharp). However after the epidural the only drugs I was ever offered (despite asking for more!) were paracetamol and ibuprofen. Having now spoken to some other people they seemed to get harder drugs after and said they were uncomfortable but in v little pain. I have my consultant appointment soon and will check the policy but I’m interested to hear other people’s experiences and what drugs you had? It’s the pain and immobility in addition to a toddler which is worrying me. I’m in no doubt natural birth is a whole world of pain too obviously! But it’s the location of the scar and the restriction of movement in terms of picking up toddlers etc which is really concerning me.
