I don't remember them making me fart before I left the hospital. Is that a C-section thing?

jjones59 · March 2014

Yes its a c-section thing.....

This is so funny yet so scary at the same time!

I so wished someone had warned me about the uterus "massages". I was shocked. After the c-section the nurse says, I'm going to push on your stomach a bit to make sure the uterus is going down. I wanted to punch her in the head. Why not warn me that it was going to feel like she was trying to zombie tear into my stomach to eat my entrails?!

That was an awesome article!

One more thing about nursing. The hormones that come along with your milk/colostrum letting down are intense. The moment that baby latches on (hopefully correctly) you will be dying of thirst and unable to keep your eyes open. Breastfeeding makes you so incredibly thirsty and tired at the same time. You kind of get used to it after a month or two and it's not so intense, but for the first while, make sure you're in a comfortable spot with water in reach.

This was surprising to me, so I thought I'd pass on the info!

I forgot about that! Very true, especially the thirst (in my case)!

I remember telling my mom I needed to poop but didn't know how. She asked what I meant and I reminded her that they had just separated my abs and I essentially had no muscles to push with. She told me to just sit and let it fall out. I think she brought DS to me 3 times while I tried to poop so I could nurse him. I was seriously terrified.

I wasn't prepared for the INTENSE uterus cramps when DD latched the first few days of breastfeeding. They brought tears to my eyes every time. Ouch.

JKTTC1 · March 2014

I wasn't aware of the serious cramps from breast feeding! I'm thankful because I lost all my weight quickly but man..no one warned me about the intense cramping I'd have from breast feeding!

noice247 · March 2014

That made me laugh so hard... And I totally remember the pooping thing!

Kageer · March 2014

Already dreading the uterine cramping post Partum. It was so intense last time I was on painkillers for 4 days. What a cruel joke Mother Nature-it was like labor again after the baby was out!

Is it too late to back out of this "giving birth" thing?

I guess it's different for every one. I didn't get any fun uterus massage (wrong spa package, I guess), I didn't have staples on my c-section, and I pooped while I was still in the hospital and it wasn't so bad.

The cramping while breastfeeding though, true story. Toe-curling. Really not looking forward to that again.

I didn't have traditional staples either. I had the things that dissolve instead. I think those are fairly common anymore.

You cramp while breastfeeding?!

This was awesome! The only other thing that I was horrified at was the night I had DS, I got to my room about 11pm, got situated, I was still really drugged up and couldn't even hold DS, so DH brought him to the nursery before he left for the night and I passed out. About 1 or 2am, a nurse comes in to give me a "sponge bath" and clean me up from surgery (I was put completely out for surgery so had no idea what went on in the OR) I'm figuring she's going to clean the betadine, any blood left on my belly and such... Um, no. That's not the area that she was sent in to clean... I had some woman cleaning my vag and all while I laid there in utter disbelief that it was happening... That was when I "lost my shame". She put what I can only compare to a puppy "wee wee" pad underneath me and left as I muttered some sort of thank you to her... So, by the next morning when they removed my cathetar and made me go to the bathroom with supervision and someone to again wash my vag, I really had no shame left LOL!

I did not have anyone washing my vag. They shaved the top part for where they were going to cut for the c/s but I don't remember anyone washing me.

Hmmm, I remember the nurse changing the pad and wiping me down when I was still numb from the spinal. Maybe you were awesomely pristine down there

I don't want to do this anymore. Someone have my baby for me.
