My second was frank/extended breech. Lil monkey..... While he did turn himself, I wound up with a C-section in labour anyway. His hip scan was fine. His legs kept creeping up for a couple of days, but that was it. He was a late crawler (10 months) and walker (17.5 months), but my first was a late walker too, so it might just be my kids.
Tbh I can't really add much more than has already been said. Alternate paracetamol and ibuprofen. Set alarms even through the night for it. Once you feel ready, take less regularly. Every 6 hours instead of 4 for example. See how you go, then
High waisted pants are great as they don't rub against the wound. You might never go back to regular pants though. 😛
Absolutely TMI incoming, but I vividly remember the first poo after my first. It was like giving birth a second time.... I also remember the poo after my second. Worlds apart. So easy. I know it's common to have issues with constipation and trapped wind after a C-section, but I didn't have any. Stock up on peppermint tea and Laxido just in case, but keep the receipts in the event you don't.
My first was a bit older than yours at 2.5 years old. TBH once I got home, I only had the two of them for one night before my sister took her to stay with her for a few nights. She had a whale of a time with her cousins, and there were no jealousy issues at all. I got her involved in looking after baby when I could. Fetching, and carrying and the like. She did regress to being babyish for a few weeks, but she eventually got over it. There were hard times when baby was fussy, and I needed both hands, but my oldest was equally kicking off. You sort of muddle your way through it, and develop your own coping mechanisms. A sling was vital. They were both velcro babies. With my oldest at least I could watch TV all day. But with the second I didn't have that luxury. Although, as others have said, don't be afraid to use it as and when needed. The first few weeks/months are all about pure survival, and finding your feet as a family again.
