Baby sleeping now. I'm wonderind if I should ask for pain killers. They basically gave me motrin on crack. But it hurts so bad. I just don't know what to do and when I should ask.
Sorry I just had a ton of visitors and was wondering what I should do for myself because my xander is 100% healthy and breastfed asleep I didn't think to mention him on this site
Ask for the meds I know right after my c section they gave me morphine which helped... But whenever u start feeling better start walking around it will help the abdominal area feel wayyyyy better
I had a very hard time sleeping after mine.. And the medicine the hospital gave me did nothing.. Motrin and percesepts (sp?).. I has to also on my back which was very hard for me.
I got perocet after my c section...helped a lot and safe if breastfeeding. Congrats!!! The soreness shouldn't last too long. Just get up and move as much as you can.
Well, whenever they do let you get up...move as much as you can and shower. I believe getting up and moving helped me heal faster. I had a very easy recovery with no pain, just a little soreness.
I was in so much pain after my cs. Morphine was wonderful to me. I hope your pain lessens soon, it's ok to take painkillers! That way you can fully focus on your new little bundle. Congrats, mama!
Usually they have an iv hooked up with a button(predetermined amounts and times so you can't just sit and push whenever and keep getting) if not than you ask the nurse for pain meds which they'll give you every 4-6 hours(depending in what it is) EXACTLY, which means no not even 9 minutes earlier than your last dose was lol sorry you're having trouble sleeping, I always found it easy to do so in a hospital bed because of the ability for it to 'incline'. Glad you're baby is fine and breastfed, I know that was a huge worry of yours.
@sands3 I agree..I didn't get out of bed till the next afternoon for my first and it was so much harder moving around versus my second one when I goy out/up within a few hours.
I finally got out of bed yesterday showered and walked up and down the hall a bit. I had a little trouble getting him to latch the first night but I jad help and he is doing better now. As for pain...all I will say is omg gas! It hurts so bad and at tjis point feel no shame in letting a large riiiip go lol. That allso being said I thonk Xander has broken a record for most manlyish farts within first 48 hours!!!!! He pooed 5 times first day and had reg poo by the end of the day.
