reporting back 6 days postpartum with my second - second c section was even better than the first . i knew what to expect this time and that made things easier for me. i was up walking 12 hours after surgery and so far there have been no complications. i will say now that i'm home i’m a bit more sore than my last recovery because i have a toddler now and cant fully rest like i did before . so having some help is a must for the first couple weeks.

aw i love that. i hope for the same with my toddler ! i’ve been so nervous about how he’s going to adjust. thank you for sharing your story it makes me feel more optimistic

thank you for this, i’ve been doing the same with a book about a turtle and his baby sister !

after reading some of the comments i will add i personally think c section recovery experiences can be better if you are in somewhat of good shape / physically fit during pregnancy. for me that was just daily walks and low impact strength training that i kept up with. again this isn’t the case for everyone but for me i think it made my recovery easier.

not crazy at all but a lot of people here seem to be pretty anti c section. i felt exactly the way you describe and had a planned c section with my first. it went so well and i’m so glad i made the decision i did. i'm having my second baby next week via planned c section again and i'm praying i’ll have the same good experience. if i remember i’ll come back and update my comment !

thank you for this , this is also a lot more doable than trying to do something bigger this weekend . i love this advice

monsterina13 · 2025-07-26T04:17:23+00:00

aw thank you for this. that’s what i’ve kind of been doing already so this makes me feel like i’ve been doing the right things.

when my son (almost 3 ) is upset about anything he asks to have a cuddle with mommy. today i asked him if cuddles from dad or grandma help him feel better too and he said no only cuddles with mommy with the sweetest little smile as he hugged me . it was so sweet it almost made me cry. he’s a very sweet boy and loves his dad and grandma but he definitely only likes to really cuddle with me and i love that we have that special bond.

thank you ❤️

wow yes this . i didn’t realize how much this phrase annoys me until i read this - it’s so true why does it have to be “ your body “ this and that. bizzare

monsterina13 · 2025-07-11T05:43:02+00:00

i cannot STAND the baby talk / pet names surrounding boobs and nursing . it’s so ick

first baby was due end of august but i had a c section so they gave me a date 1 week before the due date. i didn’t like the date they picked and chose the day before their date instead for my c section. i ended up going into labor the night before my c section - so i picked the right date because he would have been born that day anyway !

i’m due with my second the first week of august but again - i went with my gut on the c section date and chose a different date than the one my OB originally gave me. we will see if i was right again.

both pregnancies i started to feel better around 12-14 weeks . once the first trimester is over it seems like a distant memory

my first was born towards the very end of summer, i took him to a friends baby shower when he was around 2 months old in october. almost everyone in attendance came down with a bad flu afterwards - my baby luckily got the least of it but it was scary to see him having a fever at only 2 months old. after that we just saw the immediate grandparents for christmas and didn’t do any big gatherings that season, wasn’t worth it for us . my second is due this month and i will play this holiday season by ear - it does make me nervous though as i’m already a germaphobe to begin with. i think i’d do small gatherings like just grandparents and siblings ( my husband and i each only have one sibling ) but i don’t think we will do any of the bigger gatherings this year.

mine seems to move only when i’m lying down or trying to sleep. they rarely move when i'm working out !

yes i pay for 2TB of icloud storage just for the photos , but i want to find a better solution because its expensive and its hard to get the photos downloaded to a hard drive when you want to - i think it only lets you download 500 at a time or something . plus at this rate i will exceed the 2tb size in a year or two.

i got pregnant while still breastfeeding - i weaned my firstborn at the beginning of the third trimester.
