I've got 4 children, my first three were natural labours (the 3rd was especially hard because of problems in my pelvic area) but the 4th labour was a CS (I'm currently 9 weeks post this CS) and I can tell you this- I will take a natural labour over a CS ANYDAY!!!!<br />The actual CS is quite a surreal experience- very calm, no pain, you know what to expect etc but the recovery is awful! <br />There are so many things that can happen to slow down recovery; I personally have had my internal stitches stretch which caused extra swelling and pain, an infection on the wound site, a hernia and now I'm seeing a physio every week for my weak pelvic floor caused by lack of mobility during recovery. <br />Oh and I'd also never had a catheter before and now have an irritated urethra which my dr tells me will get better by itself IN A FEW MONTHS so I'm always feeling like I need to wee.<br />In comparison the pain disappeared straight after I had my natural labours and recovery was south quicker and easier to deal with.<br />I was a fit and active person and quite healthy before my CS too so this didn't factor into the equation. <br />If you don't NEED a cesarean then I recommend you don't request one, it's major surgery and this tends to get overlooked.

I'm 9 weeks PP. I was still bleeding week 5 so my Dr started me on the pill to regulate it which stopped the bleeding. A week ago I had red break through bleeding and then yesterday after starting on sugar pills I now have heavy periods and major (!!!) cramping. I feel like I've been bleeding for ever!<br />This is baby number 4 but first CS so this is a new post pregnancy experience for me, I'm glad I came across this post because I was starting to think something was wrong with this much bleeding.

I had my first 7 weeks ago and I'm still sore and now seeing a physio for it, I think everyone is different.

Thanks, I used to do cakes and cupcakes before DD but couldn't during my pregnancy, and i'm slowly getting back into it. <br />This was a rush job I did in about 4 hours so I was pretty happy with how it turned out!

I bought a strider plus 4 with toddler seat from there via online and it was $150 cheaper then buying in my town (bout 1000kms away) and only cost $40 freight! <br />Super fast delivery and quality product.
