I had to have an elective csection with my daughter at 39+5,
Im recovering ok, just wanted to ask if anyone with any prev csections could give me some advice!
Im having panic attacks thinking that the stitches are gna errupt inside of me and i wont no that its happened and my minds going all over the place.
Also im worried im gna overdo it and make myself worse but i cant keep staying at home and sitting about as its driving me insane!
TIA

Re: 1st Time Csection Mummy
And, as far as overdoing it, just pay attention to your body. I've been naval atone stairs since the first day we got home from the hospital and I've been out of the house pretty much everyday since then. I get stir crazy so can't just sit here. If I start to feel tired I rest and if my incision feels sore, I just take it easy the rest of the day and the next day.
Im gna take it easy today and rest as i have visitors, ive had little walks but then i get sore and have to stop for a while then turn back home.
My partner is on 2wk paternity leave so im hoping i recover sooner rather than later as once he is back to work i will have a toddler to get to school and a newborn! X
