I am having a repeat c-section, this one is scheduled for April 4th and I have no idea what to expect! I had an emergency c-section with DS #1 after laboring for 12 hours with no progress. Was your recovery easier? How long did you spend in recovery after the surgery? How long did you take prescription pain meds (which I am not a fan of!)? Just trying to get an idea of what's in store!
Re: RCS moms-what's your story??
Big brother and sister are excited to meet the new baby! It's a GIRL!

For both of my RCS- I was in the same curtained pre/post op area. I spent about 1 hr in there before surgery getting my IV and all that. Then another hr after surgery while they got my room ready. Lactation came to me in post op. Baby never left my side.
I took Percocet and Motrin for a week, then just Motrin. I'm still taking Motrin at 3 wks but not the huge hospital strength. Just regular strength around the clock to prevent inflammation.
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
Not sure how the repeat will compare...
