I had to have a c section last Friday due to 12 hours of baby heart rate not meeting monitoring levels on ctg machine, firstly the experience was incredible and I have a very positive story, no major blood loss or complications for baby or me.
it will be a week tomorrow since c section and I am so exhausted, how was everyone’s recovery? As I had a vaginal birth last time I have nothing to compare it to, but I remember a recent visit with the midwife that at a week I can take small walks round the block, I’ve read others doing half a mile/mile walks within first week and quite honestly I can barely keep my eyes open.
I’m managing to potter round the house, make dinner, do dishwasher etc but that’s about it and the rest of the time I feel like I could fall asleep- was anyone else similar?
I definitely wouldn’t be able to do a mile walk right now 😂 I don’t understand how others manage it
