Recovery experiences after c section

[Jenny_J]

This is my 3rd section, and its a tougher recovery than my last one in 2006. I had a fungal infection, and I think I did too much too soon. I hate seeing the house untidy, and seeing jobs go do and not being allowed to do them, I feel lazy, and guilty for not doing the jobs.

Feel a bit of a crap mom to my other kids too, who are 9 nd 6. As Niamh takes up most of my time aswell as needing rest, I explained that normal mom will be back in a few weeks though, I hope they understand.

My first time was great, I got quite ill in labour before my emcs so I was kept in for a week after it, but as soon as I got home I could do EVERYTHING as normal. Walking, lifting, sex, looking after baby, no problems, and my wound looked completely healed on the outside by by two weeks.

This time, my wound still hasn't healed properly after 10 weeks, I have a keloid scar, my wound opened up again at four weeks after op and I've had two infections. I couldn't get up and down or look after baby hardly at all till two weeks after, couldn't lie on my side or get up without agonizing pain until six weeks, and still a bit sore now.
