Hi all, I'm having an RCS on 5-7. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. DH and I have a 2.5 year old at home, so I'm a little worried about the recovery this time around. Hopefully not laboring first will make a huge difference!
I'm having a RCS with a 2 year old at home as well....so excited, but like you said the recovery makes me nervous! My DD is all over me now so I can't imagine how much more so she will be when I'm trying to hold her little brother!!
You are in the exact same shoes I was in when I had DD. DS was just turning 2. The recovery was sooooo much easier for me without the 27 hours of labor leading up to the c-section. I had my DH with me for a week after surgery, then my mom came during the day a few days during the second week. I think you should plan on having someone with you during the day if DH can't be there. Not sure if you will be able to pick your 2 yo up right away. Good Luck.

I had an RCS and felt back to normal 5 days afterward with very minimal pain med if any. I was also driving too, but the doc doesn't need to know that
