Csect Experience

Hello mummies! Can anyone share with me your experience with csect? Im having one in a few days time and really nervous 😢 1) How long does the surgery usually take? 2) Is recovery really long/bad compared to normal delivery? 3) Are we supposed to put on the abdominal binder as soon as surgery is over? Idk why but it sounds so painful if its just a day after 😂

Not a Csect mum but according to my mum (2 times csect, last in 2017), done in 15 minutes. If you give her a choice, she will still go for Csect. Once epidural is in, you pretty much won’t feel anything 😊. If you’re like me, see or touch needles will faint, request for them to let you sleep 😅. Recovery definitely takes longer than normal delivery. If your gynae does it well, it shouldn’t be bad. Her first had complications cause gynae didn’t clear properly. Second time no issues, healed well, minimal pain. If the gynae has poor skills, even normal delivery also equally bad. The nurses will help you put on the binder to protect your stitches from moving too much I think. Goodluck and smooth delivery! ☺️
