How To Cope With A C-Section (Cesarean Section)

A cesarean section is sometimes required for the safety of the mother or the baby, but C-sections result in longer recoveries and other potential post-operative issues. Dr Keith Eddleman, head of obstetrics at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York explains how to cope with a cesarean section.

  • I have had 3 c-sections. The first one I had a long labor and was exhausted, It's a little tough the first few days especially when they want you to get up and walk around.. but it was nothing I couldn't handle and having pain medication did help...You just have to take it easy, no heavy lifting, stairs, etc. The other two were much easier because I was more aware of what to expect. Not everyone has a high pain tolerance.. and everyone is different. Csection/Vaginal. We're all moms in the end.

  • I have a 3 year old who was 8 1/2 pounds 22 inches long that was delivered vaginally and was very traumatic. I have small hips and had 3 nurses on top of my stomach pushing down for nearly 3 hours because I could not get him out, along with a very large episiotomy. I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my second and they can see from the ultra sound this time the baby is even larger so I'm most likely going to have to have a c-section for my health and the babies.

  • I'm stationed in Turkey and we can choose which birth we want!

  • I got an emergency CS and wished I could have had my daughter normal I'm still recovery I can't sleep I keep waking up and I can't go to the bathroom it takes forever just to stand up and when I walk I get so dizzy!! I recommend everyone who can to get natural birth

  • Fuck you and your lies!! Women do have a choice! Stop trying to make birth sound like a disease so you can make profit over it!!!!

  • from the picture it looks like miss piggy from the muppets

  • @SuperAnuzza

    I'm schedule for a C section soon. I'm past my due date and very nervous. But this post helped me. Thanks

  • After I was up and moving the pain was bad!!! Not to horrible but I got sick and I coughed a lot and it was horrible! !!!... but I did heal fast ans my scar is not as noticeable but ill be having my second soon and hopee things go well (: I recommend you get something to relaxe you before you get your spinal.. it helps a lot..

  • @rabbicreditor i agree when i had my c section i didnt see my baby for hours ... =( didnt get to bond with him like i wanted to bc he was in the nicu .. bc idaho sucks and is the shittiest place to have a baby

  • It's not up to us which way it goes. I don't see why everyone is arguing over it anyways. Who cares how the baby is brought into the world as long as it's healthy and ALIVE, that's all that matters. Right?

  • Not everyone can have a vaginal birth. With me I had to have an emergency c-section with my first daugther and with my second daughter I'm having another c-section. It didn't take that long for me to recover the first time. I was up moving and doing things just a few hours after my c-section, I felt no pain afterwards. 8 hours after they forced me to take my pain medicine because they were sure I was in pain. Vaginal birth isn't for everyone.

  • Ive had 5 c/s and im having my 6th this october.their not that bad.after my 1st one it got easier to recover.some of these comments are just over dramatic to me.
