C-section birth Experiences

[mhiedhiecj08]

hello sis!

2yrs old na baby ko ngayon. And classic cut ginawa ng OB ko sa akin, ayoko sana ng classic cut kaya lang di ko naman nasabi sa OB ko na I want bikini cut. so no choice ako kasi di ko na kinaya [textspeak!] pain. kasi 12nn nasa labor room na ko then past 2am nakalabas na kaagad [textspeak!] baby ko. worth it naman.di naman masakit [textspeak!] tahi. after 24 hrs nakakapaglakad lakad na ako. 3 days lang kami nagstay sa hospital. sabi nga ng OB ko buti nalang daw nagdecide na ko magpa CS kasi di ko din kasi daw kaya sa laki ng chan ko and wala na din magtutulak sa baby ko kasi naubusan na ko ng water. imagine 12nn pa lang pumutok na [textspeak!] panubigan ko. until 1am. 1 week medyo ok na [textspeak!] tahi ko. [textspeak!] baby ko 7.8lbs and my height is 4'll lang kaya sabi nila ok na din na CS ako.. sa laki kasi ni baby..

[jesrora]

sis wala talaga pain kapag inoopera. yung pain after. um paano ba bikini cut? patayo yata tahi ko eh. tapos pinagbinder na ako kanina hapon,bumili pa kami kasi wala ko dala kala ko talaga normal ako. pati diapers bili kami. gamit na gamit ng cs. sa cp lang ako internet now haha. tapos pinapagalaw na ko ob ko nagrounds sya kanina. sa st.therese hospital pasig ako now. as of kanina umaga nasa 19k na bill ko. hehe. sana makarecover na ako agad. tapos yun pain mahapdi at nakakatayo na ko pero nid lots of help ginagawa ko saklay asawa ko. kasi di na ko pinayagan magdiaper ngayon gabi. pinagundies na ko at napkin para tatayo talaga para magcr.. aun parang hinihila insides ko pababa at mahapdi. ganun ang downside. hirap umiyak kasi masakit din. deep breathing nlang at lakas ng loob,kelangan gumaling para mahawakan at makita ko na baby.

wait ko pa utot or poop ko bago ako pakainin ng solids. natatakot nga ako baka obstructed waa. pero sis worth it ito. mahirap lang lakad upo dhil sa tahi,pero hindi sore down ko. yey

Mga mommies, im here aain for some few questions:

1. kapag bikini ba, maiipit sya ng belly natin, after the surgery? kasi syempre mababawasan ng laman yun tyan natin di ba?
2. ilang araw po kayo nagstay sa hospital?
3. nakapaglakad na ba agad kayo after ng operation? or mga ilang days pa?
4. naramdaman nyo po ba nung hinihiwa na yung tummy nyo? or totally wala talaga ma feel.
5. gaano kahaba yun hiwa ng bikini cut niyo?

Here's my experience:
1. Hindi naman naipit bikini cut ko. I worked out around 4-5 months after giving birth para di naman masyadong malaki ang tummy. My ob also does a little bit of tummy tuck on me kasi nga may excess skin na tayo after being pregnant.

2. When I had my boys, I stayed for around 4 nights coz they were circumcised and I wanted to go home sabay with my babies. But with my girl, 2 nights lang ako sa hospital.

3. 24 hours after the operation, when my catheter was removed, I forced myself to walk na. Medyo awkward but it gets better after 3 days.

4. I didn't feel anything at all when I had my cut. Kakatakot kaya if ma-feel mo yun. I was asleep the whole operation. Though, I felt the needle when they injected anesthesia on my back.

5. First pregnancy, about 3inches lang cut, then pahaba na ng pahaba everytime ma- CS ako

Good luck sis Jenskie! Congrats in advance. Lapit na!

Invest on a good binder pala. And wear that everyday day and night for the first month. It'll help you walk and kahit papano trim tummy. When I didn't have my binder, feeling ko nag ji-jiggle buong laman-loob ko when I move

[jesrora]

naka binder ako now,normal po ba na kapag lumalakad parang malalaglag lahat sakin? at kapag nakatayo? 2nd day ko na po. paano mabilis mkarecover? tuwing magpee tuloy ako kinakabahan ako kasi tatayo ako di ko kaya walang alalay.. =c

[jenskie]

@itsladyanne: sis san hospital ka nanganak? un painkiller sa IV anong day tinanggal sayo?

@jesrora: sis ikaw ba yun painkiller mo idretso sa IV?

* that's normal sis, parang wala pa yung sense of balance mo, kasi nga for 9 months may bump ka sang binubuhat.

* yung OB ko dati, dapat daw pag 2nd day, nakaka-bangon na at 3rd day -- dapat nakakalakad na.

* pag tumatayo, dapat may alalay pa, or kung solo mo lang, dapat kung paano ka bumangon nung buntis ka pa [coming from the side arm ang support] dahil hindi pa fully healed yung sugat

* dapat for a month, BAWAL magbuhat ng mabibigat, kasi daw, pwedeng sa surface healed na, pero sa loob, hindi pa gaano.

* ni-recommend din ng OB ko na, i can use the binder for 3-4 weeks para added support, kasi medyo on the "heavy side" ako.

[jenskie]

Mga mommies, bukas confine na ko, preparatino for my scheduled CS the following day. Kinakabahan na tuloy ako. Please share pa yun mga cs birthing experience niyo.

[ebiko]

^ relax lang sis, kasi kasama sa monitoring ang BP mo. mahirap pag nag-high blood ka. relax lang, isipin mo lang na mahahawakan mo na si baby in a few more hours.

ako kasi, may hypertension ako, so iniiwasan talaga namin ng OB ko ang mataas na BP, normal na kasi sa akin ang 130/90, buti na lang, nung admit ako for CS, nakisama ang BP ko.

[girl_interrupted]

Actually even if this is my 4th pregnancy, kinakabahan pa rin akong ma-CS... hehe... Naiisip ko yung mga needles na iinject sa kin...eww... ang pinakamahirap sa akin is the next day na kailangan I have to stand up na. But once I pass that, everything is good na. I also use adult diaper, para pag mag weewee, I don't need to get up na.

sis jesrora: try mo tighten a bit binder mo para may support ka talaga. First 3 weeks ko, I was using the katcha binder. Nakahiga ako whenever our househelp puts on my binder and I tell her to tighten it. After that I used the regular rubber binder pang-workout, but I put lampin first before the rubber binder para di yung rubber agad ang nakalapat sa tummy ko. HTH.

Sa experience ko rin, my tummy became very very sensitive for weeks whenever I wipe it with towel.

[jenskie]

@girl_interrupted: tummy cut ka rin gaya ni jesrora? Sis ibig sabihin yun first tayo at upo lang talaga ang mahirap, kapag nakatayo na at nakaupo, mejo ok na?

@ebiko: pinipilit ko nga na wag na mag-isip pero hirap talaga.

[girl_interrupted]

^ bikini cut ako sis. but I think same lang ang experience whatever cut you have.

For me, yun lang talaga ang biggest challenge sa CS recovery ko--- yung getting up after the operation. I had to call a nurse to assist me. Kung bigla ka nahilo, wag mo rin pilitin. Kailangan talaga dahan-dahan, just like how you get up when you were pregnant. like what sis ebiko said, Sideview muna then sit down with the support of your arms.

Since you are also recovering from CS operation, it would be best if you have someone to assist you with the baby. I really am thankful for my mom for being with me. She stays with us for about 2 weeks, kalamay ko sa mga sleepless nights. She also bathes baby and wakes up early to sunbathe them. She tells me to sleep and rest sa daytime, siya muna bahala kay baby.

[jenskie]

Si hubby naman buti nagleave ng another 2 more weeks kasi 7 days yun paternity leave d b. Sabi ko sya na muna bahala kay baby for 3 weeks. Tapos kapag pumasok na siya ako naman ang babawi kay baby.

mga sis anong binder yung marerecomend nyo?

[twelvth_goddess]

I used a So-En binder lang and it helped a lot I think plus the fact na I exclusively breastfeed my daughter.

[girl_interrupted]

^^ sis, check out this topic. All about binders after pregnancy

http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php?topic=215679.0

I use the binder of my sis-in-law pa which was given to her when she gave birth via CS sa cardinal or makati med (not sure which one). But after about 3 wks, I change binders and use the brand LP (color black). I also used the brand Persona, but I like LP better, mas durable for me. If bikini cut, make sure the edge of the binder won't hit the sugat. That happened to me before, na-irritate yung sugat ko.

[k_heart]

Sa Mercury Drug ako bumibili ng binder.

mga sis anong binder yung marerecomend nyo?

actually sis kahit anong binder naman ang gamitin mo ok lang.  ang importante lang is that you use it all the time especially during the first weeks after giving birth.

November 23, morning may mucus-like na discharge pero wala pakong nararmdaman na sakit.

around 8pm until midnight pahilab hilab yung tummy ko pero sobrang tolerable for me.

November 24, 5am naramdaman ko na naweeweewee nako, pagdating ni hubby (since 4am ang end ng shift nya) i asked him kung basa yung shorts ko kase feeling ko may nag le-leak. sabi nya wala naman daw, umihi na daw ako kase baka ihi lang yun... pag tayo ko ng kama, may konting liquid na lumabas and nabasa yung underwear ko. pagdating ko ng cr, (as in kasasara ko pa lang ng pinto) bigla na nagleak yung water where in kasabay din yung weewee... i asked my hubby to get me another underwear and shorts pero pag suot ko may umagos nanaman. thats the time i asked him to bring to the hospital na.

Nov 24, 6:45 i was admitted, 2-3 cm dilated pero mataas pa daw si baby. nag labor ako until around 8pm. 3pm 3-4 cm lang ako. 5pm same padin 3-4 cm pero nahawakan na ni doc yung head ni baby. she also explained na dapat within 12 hours since water bag broke mailabas na si baby otherwise matutuyuan daw ng amiotic fluid.

Nov 24, 8pm same lang ang sitwasyon ko thats why we decided to have CS na. nag chill ako habang tinatahi ako but other than that, wala nako ibang naramdaman.

Nov 27 6pm nakalabas na kame ng hospital.
