Question for ladies who have had more than one section...

[_jellybean_]

The day after my section, when I had to get out of bed to walk, it hurt SO SO much, to the point where I was screaming. It burnt SO badly. I wish words could describe. I'm pregnant again, and wondering...is it possible that it won't be that bad next time? Thanks.

I felt like this also, my dd is 8 months old and I still get pain. Was it an emergency section? Quite a lot of people have told me that a scheduled c section isn't as bad and the recovery is much better

Ive just had my 2nd section a week ago. 1st was emergency and second was electivr gotto say both were same pain wise, first 4 days was the worst.

My first was painful, though not as bad as you have described - but recovery from my second was so quick- pain free within the week as it was elective. The experience was totally different, so no, it doesn't have to be that painful !

I've had both an emergency c section and an elective. And I experienced alot of pain during the first few days after both. It's major surgery so pain is normal

I had 3 emergency c-sections. The first I also had that extreme burning pain, like you're tearing apart inside with every move. Getting out of bed was almost impossible!

Second time was MUCH easier. I have no idea why? It was done by the same gynae, same hospital, also emergency, etc. I even dressed in normal clothes and would've gone home 1 night earlier than planned if my baby didn't end up being in NICU.

Third time was in-between the two. Again I had that burning pain, but not nearly as bad as with my first. Not as easy a recovery as the 2nd, but definitely a bit better than the first.

I'm looking at having my 4th now in a few weeks, and I'm scared out of my mind for that burning pain again. I'm hoping to have a recovery similar to my 2nd c-section.

I hope you too will have a much easier 2nd time around!!

I have had 2 first was an emergency and the 2nd elective. Make sure it is timed with just getting a dose of pain medication!! For me though this is the biggest hurdle after having a c-section that first initial movement!!

I'm not great to be honest. Each day is a living nightmare, I hate waking up in the morning and remembering he's not here. Things with the oh are ok I guess. We argue, we cry, but we're both struggling and he was made redundant not long after losing Joshua, so he's list his son, and his career xx

Lexi. I'm so sorry. If you ever want to talk, please pm me. Thinking of you.
