Pregnant and trying to be stronger

[JennyF]

I don't know if this happens after a c-section, but naturally delivered causes your uterus to shrink back up. Therefore, you will have contractions after delivering. they are not strong, but more like the beginning ones. Plus, breastfeeding will bring these on immediately too. It's really weird.

Yes...this does happen after a C-section...and I agree ST...it is weird!!
And your milk will be ready within minutes of completing your surgery too...I was breastfeeding in post-op waiting for the feeling to come back in my legs. Really, besides the pain being in 2 different places, a C-section will produce the exact same reactions hormonally in your body that a vaginal birth would.

You will have a hard time getting up and down for the first couple days after a C-section, but then you'll be amazed at how quickly your body recovers. Take it easy and don't over do it. You need to stay healthy!!

I'm going to send you a couple pics of on your e-mail of me right after having my S....hope that's ok.
