The uterus stitch, I dun think I felt the pain leh...More pain is the outer horizon stitch leh...After the anthestic wore off aft the ops, u will start to feel pain, but u will be given pain killer, I took only when I feel the pain, one nite at home I aso took the pain killer cos my backache and legache really kill me as I take care of my baby myself at nite, my hubby only 'special appearance', wahaha, I find the wound not really tat pain (backache is the best pain I ever had, wahaha) leh, depends on yrself leh, from 1 to 10, I rate 3 for the wound pain, lasted 1wks plus..... but I think epidural is the course of my backache, now still have, Haiz...
wow u so li hai! aft c-sect still can take care BB at night. i alrdy told my hubby during e 1st few weeks he must wake up and help out. i think ur backach is partly becos u didnt rest enough during confinement? cos u've been taking care of ur BB alone... btw if i wanna breastfeed, still can take pain killer ah?? wont affect the breastmilk??

For my case, I could walk on the 2nd day liao..but there is this "pulling" pain sensation that lasted for months.

Each time you get up, bend down, I felt the pain near the wound.

Anyone had that ?

BTW, for those opted for c-sect, will hb have the chance to cut the umbilical cord?

My hb didnt have the chance for the #1 and we didnt know if its allowed or not..

Im now 37-weeks and I just went for my antenatal checkup today evening.
Baby is still BREECH therefore Doctor advised that he most likely wont turn downwards anymore.

He asked me to pick a date for the C-section as elective would be cheaper than emergency C-section.

Anyone gone/going for C-section to deliver?
how long will the wound take to heal?
Can I still go for the Malay Jamu massage?
How would C-section affect breastfeeding?

Sorry for so many questions. Feeling very anxious!

Hi FrenchKitty

I delivered my baby girl via csect last March. I'm probably one of the more fortunate ones coz altho I had a csect, I did not have much pain and my wound healed extremely fast !

I was already up and about 2 days after the surgery. even when I got home, I felt no pain at all and could do anything at all. It felt like I did not even go for a surgery.l

I suppose for breastfeeding, it would vary for every individual. As for me, I had no issues with BF and so far the quantity is still plentiful.

I had my traditional massage too, just a week after I delivered.

All the best !

Regina I also feel guilty for having to go C-section because I think it makes me feel less whole as a woman if I dont go through the natural birthing process.

And I know hubby been very enthusiastic reading my baby books and preparing himself to be my birthing partner. This makes me feel even more guilty. :embarrassed:

But last night I asked him what he thinks of C-section, he said it has its good points also, no need to pain and wait so long. :001_302:
