I had a c-section with my first and it was not by choice. I chose to do a repeat c-section and am so apprehensive about the whole procedure again. Is the second c-section worst than the first regarding actual surgery, recovery, and swelling? I also have a very rambunctious 2.5 yr old, so chasing him around the house is expected.
I found the second to be much easier. Pain gone much faster, incision healed up quicker. I'm getting ready for a third and banking on it being even easier this time!
I think it was a bit easier, mostly because I knew how to prepare and what to expect and also when I needed to ask for help instead of doing stuff myself.
