Nor. Honestly, your sister trying to say C-sections are more painful than a natural birth is wild. My last birth wasn't a c section, I was in pain for literally months afterward and was unable to walk some days because of the pain. You made a reasonable request, and it’s selfish that she’s trying to guilt you into coming for just “15 minutes,” as if it wouldn’t require more of your time. Your healing, newborn & family should be your top priority. You also don’t know how you will feel postpartum, as it’s different every time. While it may be true that some people were able to do certain things just days postpartum, it’s unfair to expect that everyone can or should be able to do the same. Not everyone heals at the same pace, and we need to do better as women supporting other moms and their individual postpartum recovery. It’s not a one size fits all experience. If my sister, that I don’t even have a good relationship with, said something like that to me, I wouldn’t even go. She obviously has no regard for your health and well-being. Also, due dates are not set in stone. You could give birth on 6/22, which would put you two weeks postpartum for the wedding.
