I'm an Aunt! (C-Section question)
My sister had her first baby last night, a girl! I'm so excited! But she had
to have a C-section after many, many hours of labor and a few hours of pushing. We'd planned for her to spend the two weeks after giving birth at my house to recover, and now I'm wondering what special needs she might have due to having had a C-section. Can any of you moms who have been through it give me some advice? Will she be able to climb stairs? What can I do to make her as comfortable as possible? TIA! Be well, Bryna Mommy to Yosef, 3 & Temima, 1 |

Be well, Bryna Mommy to Yosef, 3 & Temima, 1 I don't know about the stairs, I could of if I didn't have to carry anything up or down with me but wouldn't of wanted to climb stairs....If you have somewhere for her and the baby to sleep downstairs that is quiet I'd have that ready for her, I didn't need anything special except it's lovely if you don't have to fetch meals or worry about cleaning and just have the time to spend looking after the new baby, and a quiet place to rest when the baby is asleep.

It all depends on the person. I was in a lot of pain after my sections and
liked to spend a lot of time in bed with the baby and my painkillers. IT helped me if others did things like changing diapers so I didn't have to bend over. And just being there with her in case she feels blue is good too. :-) Leslie |

Secondly, I think what you are doing for her is wonderful Although I have never had a c-sec I was in a lot of pain after DS birth (3rd degree tears) and I adored any help I could get! Being there to take care of her (meals, changing the baby, giving her a break etc) I am sure will to wonders for her recovery. Jenn -DS Feb'92 -DD Feb'97 -36 weeks! |

Be well, Bryna Mommy to Yosef, 3 & Temima, 1 Congrats. I didn't need anything special, I just had to do things a bit more slowly (like getting in and out of bed, up off the couch, etc...) |

Recovering from my C-Section my DH just let me relax mostly. She doesn't
need to get up to much the incision needs time to heal. However she does need to get up some to help the soreness. She doesn't need to climb stairs the 1st week at least, if she must after that than be there to help her go slow! She will be very sore, so mainly just help with the baby and make sure she gets her sleep! |
