My gynae told me tht likely I would require a c sect when I give birth though natural is also still possible for now but may b tough on me given my small size and age. I'm in a dilemma... I know natural would likely take a toll on me and I'm more towards c sect but...I'm very afraid of the pain aft op. Is it really bad or painful for c sect or is something u would describe as still manageable? Pain tht make u wna scream or more of burning feeling etc can I still nurse my bb..breastfeed right aft op as movements r restricted? Do share ur c sect experience.tks!

I had an emergency csect with my firstborn, despite being 8cm dilated. The first 12 hours, I still felt numb. But after that, the pain came. It hurts especially when I laugh or cough. It hurts when trying to get up and walk. But, I still breastfeed my son. He slept with me, I did not send him back to nursery. I stand up to pick him up when it's time for feeding. Yes, it's painful but definitely worth it seeing my son and even when I breastfeed him. Soon, you will learn to be immune to it. All the best!
