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 😂

Hi! I had an unplanned c sect 3 weeks ago. Do take note of epidural side effects, I had itching, shivers and vomited after my epidural but all’s good other than that. C sect will take about an hour, baby should be out by 20mins. Recovery for me is smooth so far, was given regular pain killer and I started walking as soon as my urine catheter is out. Just take every medication that is given to you in the hospital regularly including stool softener which didn’t taste good. As of now I have no pain and I did not get the abdomen binder as my pain was bearable but you might wanna get it if its really bad for you. My wound is closing up nicely too.
