I’m 7 days post c section. I feel your pain. When they made me get up to walk at 6 hours after surgery, I almost felt like I was going to pass out. I was dripping sweat and dizzy from the pain. My suggestion is to take the pain medication always on time. Also take any additional pain management if possible. They were giving me Tylenol and Advil every 6 hours. And then I asked for hydro morphine every 4 hours when I knew I was going to be doing something taxing like showering. Remember that it is okay if baby cries. It does not mean that you have failed your baby. Take your time when trying to get up and out of bed. But also try to get up often as possible as this will help you heal faster. Everyday gets easier, I promise!
You can do it! Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I really struggled at the start aswell but it will get easier. Often the hospitals are so quick to get you up and out after a c section and it’s major surgery! Like the above comments, take your pain relief on time and ask for additional pain relief if you feel like you need it. Take it one day at a time and it will get easier. It’s amazing what our bodies can do
I know i felt a lot better when i was at home in my own environment. Being able to sit in a chair instead of the bed made a huge difference. I also highly recommend sleeping on the couch and having a bassinet for baby. Take all the pain medicine they give you. In a year you won’t remember the pain, but you will remember the time with your baby.
I didn't have a C-section, but day 3 was BY FAR the worst in terms of my recovery. It has been all uphill from there! I'm so sorry!
I know it’s so hard but you got this momma. If you need extra help call for your nurse. They are obligated to help you. It won’t be like this forever. Take your time healing and soak in all those new born cuddles.
