How long did you stay in hospital....
following your c-sec?
Hi Ladies, just got my date through today - 28th Sept - eeks! I'm hoping that I will be fit and well to leave hospital by the Friday which is 3 full nights...in your opinion is this long enough to stay in? I've never ever stayed in hospital before and the though of being without hubby for so long is awful!
Also, how long was it before you felt well enough to be left alone with bubs and drive etc? I understand everybody is different I just want to see if there is a 'general healing' time.
Thanks for your help xx

They say not to drive for 6weeks but I drove after 3! Drivig was easier than walking!
Day of section is difficult, but each day after gets better. After few weeks I could do pretty much wht I did before apart from lifting/ walking far.x
Good luck, not long now.xx
I was left alone with my DD straight away as my partner had to work,but i found it all fine and felt pretty good considering id just had a major surgery.I don't drive so i cant comment on that,but i was walking everywhere straight away.They say the healing time is 6 weeks but everyone does vary, the only thing i found was that my stomach felt very tender and bruised but it didnt stop me doing anything.
Im 21 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and hoping to opt for another section as my experience was really positive apart from the staying in part but this time my OH will take paternity leave.
Hope this helps x

Maybe worth asking your midwife as she would know exactly what happens at your particular hosp x
good luck! not long now )
good luck,
I'd check with your mw, it looks as if policies vary for different hospitals.
My recovery was very quick, I felt pretty rough for first few days but I improved very quickly. I still looked seven months pregnant for a while though
