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 sure if your LO is out yet or not. i had my c-section + epidural done 8 days ago. still coping well now. -abt 2 mins for epidural to kick in. baby came out in abt 15 mins time. then wheeled out tgt with my husband. another 15 mins for stitching. all was done less than an hour. -recovery is still ok for me. just take the painkillers if it’s hurting you. on day 2, catheter has to be removed. nurses will then assist you to the toilet and make sure you pee. don’t worry as first pee after surgery will take some time to come. -supposed to had my binder on day 2 but i started wearing only on day 3 don’t worry! the pain is pretty manageable. just take small steps
