C-section Recovery!! need some advice?? help!.... my experience!!** UPDATE**
I had an emergency C-section on Monday Aug.1st .. its been a week and I don't feel any better. My experience was not what I thought it would be... it was awful. I couldn't stop shaking during the surgery, I couldn't feel my self breathing and I kept falling asleep. I had to beg my husband to keep me up and not let me fall asleep till I was back in my room. I was scared I will fall asleep and not wake back up! And to top it all off..... I felt the last few minutes of the surgery. I felt the docs fixing my insides and I felt every single staple. They offered morphine during that process to cope with the pain but I declined since I wanted to stay up. That would have knocked me out! Now, My intestines feel like they move and I'm afraid they gonna pop out of place. I was given oxycotin for the pain.. but when I take the pain killers I feel so out of place. I can't focus on anything and I'm always sleepy. I wonder if there is anything else I can do to be more comfortable and have a less painful recovery. I'm sorry if I scare any mommys that have a c section scheduled or may experience an emergency csection. My body does not react well to change.. so I knew It was a huge risk for me.

So I called my doc last night and expressed my concerns and discomforts. She had me come in this morning just to make sure I am ok. She examined me and I have Hernia. she is gonna give it time to see if I can heal on my own... if not then I will have to have surgery. I am so scared of surgery. Hopefully I recover by my next visit.. has anyone have experienced this or know someone who has? Can I do something to help besides rest and taking it easy? #heartbroken.
