hello just wanted to let you know that a c section really isnt that bad i had one with my first baby it wasnt planned but i was actually quite relieved when they told me id have to have seeing as id been in labour for five days and had slept only one lol i dont think i could have pushed anyway though, you might have to stay in the hospital for up to five days although i was out after one it all depends on how the cut is healing, youll beable to hold your baby although the do take you to a recovery room for a few minutes first but youll get to see himn or her before they take you there, the c section does not affect your breastmilk at all i was able to feed her right afterwards and....i think thats about it youll be sore around the cut for awhile they take the staples out after a week and it does take awhile to recover but not in any major way you just cant go jogging or anything like that for a bit lol well i hope that helps a bit. congratulations on your pregnancy!! best wishes to you
