For me my csect recovery was smooth. I even went in and out of the house aft discharge to go to the hospital to breastfeed baby who was in NiCU for jaundice. For me the most painful was actually the epidural injection. When the epi wore off, I had bad shivers but this really depends on individual. Some mommies dont even have any effect. While recovering in the hospital, I just pop painkillers so I didn't really feel much pain. It's just fear of having the wound tear but it didn't. I hardly have any visible scar cz I put silicone sheet every day on the scar wound when I was bck home in hospital. I know some people had their wounds still wet and bled even aft several weeks but lucky for me I didn't. Likely also cz my gynae did a good job of stitching for me. At my first appt aft birth, my gynae alr opened up my wound cover since my wound had healed well. Overall my childbirth was an uneventful one. During the surgery I cld still feel tugging when they took out baby. I opted for half GA so that I cld at least see and experience childbirth. Oh mine is planned csect cz baby was estimated 3.8kg but no dilation at all.
Though I'm hoping that my 2nd one now I cld go for vbac, just for the experience of having natural birth 😅
