Second time c-section
Having my second c-section tomorrow (planned) after the emergency c-section I had with my first baby. Any tips on recovery second time round or anything you wish you’d known? I’m really nervous about the operation itself now that I know what to expect (first birth experience was quite traumatic) and recovering while having a newborn and a toddler.
I was in the same situation having my second one in September, I had heard that recovery would be harder the second time but I didn’t find it any harder at all. I found because I could prepare better for postpartum with it being planned, I knew what to expect and how easy to take it after. They really take their time with a planned c section, the experience is totally different to emergency. For recovery, my biggest tip would be to rely on your support system as much as possible, especially for your toddler x
