Everyones C section journey is different, whether it be elective or emergency, staples or stitches, the best thing ever or the most traumatic experience of their life. I thought we could put together a brief summary of our experiences by answering these short questions;
The good - what was the best part about your experience?
The bad - what you really didn't like
The unexpected - even if you had an emergency, you probably still had some idea of how you thought things would happen, what if anything, surprised you.
I'll go first;
The good; I looooove knowing my due date is going to be my due date. I am very impatient and going past my due date with my VB was torture.
The bad; having to keep the cannula in for minimum of 24 hours post op. I HATE that thing under my skin, it makes me feel sick.
The unexpected; being able to feel so much of what was going on. There was no pain, but I could feel lots of pushing and poking, and I had not been warned about this. It actually freaked me out!

How did u guys loose ur belly fat?
Im 10 days pp and hate my body ..
Ive gained 30 pounds through my whole pregnancy. And lost 15 pounds during the first week. So I still have another 15 pounds and the stretch marks to get rid of.
Im breastfeeding. So hopefully that helps to shed a few pounds :/
