C section

[Lily189]

I had an emergency c section 7 days ago and I'm getting my staples out tomorrow
I was just looking peoples advice
How long was it before you went out a walk
How long did you bleed for
How long before you had sex and did it feel different

Congrats!!
I had special glue for my incision so no experiences with staples I'm afraid.
I went for a short walk within a week around a supermarket. That's all I could manage.

Bleeding was light and lasted about around 2-4 weeks on and off.
Can't quite remember when we resumed sex, but I think it was around the time the bleeding stopped and we both felt comfortable but took it easy.

I went out two days after I got home to a restaurant. I walked everywhere as wasn't allowed to drive for six weeks.
I bled for a few weeks - that took me by surprise! Guess I missed that info in the antenatal class! I had sex after three weeks. Didn't feel any different, though we were being careful due to the wound.
