What are the problems if any confronted mothers undergoing cesarian delivery?

Answer 1

I got kind of nauseous when they delivered my child c-section. Even though you don't feel pain during the surgery, you do feel pulling and tugging. I had to puke after a while. It also sucks because you want to hold your baby SOOO bad after they deliver it, but they won't let you until you're out of post op.

Getting up and down for next few days hurts pretty bad, but you bounce back quickly.

Answer 2

Anxiety was the only problem I had when I had an emergency C-Section. The delivery is painless yes, however the next week or so is a little difficult. The day after is the worst. But you don't really feel it because you don't get out of bed at all. When you get a C-section they give you a catheter for your urine. About three days after delivery the nurses will get you out of bed and walking. Once you are able to walk with little difficulty they remove your catheter so you are able to urinate normally. For about a week or two it is a little hard to get around. Standing up straight was my main problem. Get some loose fitting pajama pants to wear for a few weeks. The incision is a can be alittle itchy at first but it is numb because they cut the nerves. Don't worry you'll get the feeling back eventually. The incision is not that big... and if you heal well you'll be fine. I wouldn't worry too much about the pain, they make sure to give you meds for that. The one good thing about a c-section is the no pain. Yes, it is a little hard to get around but the baby is mostly sleeping for at least the first week. So when he/she is sleeping you should be sleeping too. : ) The anestetic makes you a little nausous but they can give you benadril for that. Don't worry about not getting to hold your baby. They may not let you hold your baby in the operating room but when you are in the post op room they allow you to hold your baby. They also give you the opportunity to breast feed your baby if you so desire.

I've had 2 c-sections, and will probably be having a 3rd in January. I was apprehensive, but I reocovered quickly from both. A positive mindset and educating yourself on it can be really helpful

A BIG aid in healing is getting out of bed as soon as you can. I know some hospitals won't let you up for 24 hours, but mine let me up as soon as I could feel my legs again. The sooner you start moving around, the faster you can recover. I was up within 10-12 hours with both and home within 48 hours. I have friends that didn't get out of bed soon or often, and they were much more sore and had a longer recovery time.

As far as pain, it wasn't too bad for me. I only took half a dose of the pain meds they offered, and I was comfortable. The incision did hurt for a couple of weeks, but I know people that suffered as much or more from tearing or an episiotimy. I was moving around comfortably (but not lifting or driving) within 10-12 days. By the way, I'm not in great shape, but am fairly active. I don't know if that makes a difference.

I know it can be different in emergency situations, and both of mine were planned. Good luck!

Answer 4

I had an emergency C-Section and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. There was alot of pressure when they were moving the baby around to get her out but no pain because of the epidural. I was up and walking the next day and my incision healed quickly. The worst part was when I needed to sit up from a lying down position. That hurt really bad. I was pretty much off of pain meds by the time I left the hospital though.

Answer 5

I always remember my Lamaze coach saying you pay now or you pay later. You pay later with the c/section. The delivery is painless (yay). You will feel sore for several weeks. The incision will be itchy, and sensitive. I found it hard to get out of bed when the baby was crying. You have a bikini incision and I needed to sort of roll out of bed, taking about 3 tries. I'm sure as in any surgery there can be complications, but most go off without a hitch. I was sore for about a week, but you get over it.

Answer 6

some woman hemeradge or have excessive bleeding where they have to remove the entire utuers, but really if ur having a c-section DONT think of the bad things its not comman that bad things happen during a c-section, just keep posative!!

Answer 7

As with any surgery there can be problems. Everyone is different. Depending on what they use for anesthesia, you could become nauseated or vomit.

You will have some pain where the incision is. Most docs will have you up within 24 hours (some withing 12). The first time up is the worst. I felt like my intestines were going to "pop" out!

You have to remember to take it slow. Support your stomach with a folded blanket or a pillow. While in the hospital, before getting up, ask for your pain medication about one hour before getting up. If they come in to get you up, tell them to give you the medication and come back in a hour so it has time to take effect. Most will understand and will do it. If they don't come back in the hour, put your light on and tell them you want to do it now.

Before trying to get up, scoot your bottom all the way to the side of the bed that you want to get up on with the bed laying flat. Then raise the head of the bed all the way up into the sitting position and lower the feet all the way down (this way it's helped you to sit up some already and you're not having to scoot over the bed to get out..the bed helped you do some of the work!). Have that pillow on your stomach and slide your feet to the ground and sit there for a minute. Try not to close your eyes and try to sit up straight.

Be prepared for a gush of blood and maybe even clots to come out when you stand up. Since you've been laying some of the blood pools in your uterus and when you stand it feels like the flood gates open up (so make sure to have slippers from the hospital instead of your own so you can toss them in the garbage and wear hospital gowns instead of your own!).

Keep looking up as you stand up, hold the pillow on your stomach and just keep taking deep breaths, nice and slow. Take a minute or two to get your barings and then scoot those feet! Yes, it's going to hurt, but make sure to stand up straight, just do it in stages.

When getting back into bed, make sure the upper part of the bed is all the way up and the feet all the way down. Put the guard rail on the upper part all the way down and out of the way. Have the lower guard rail pulled out from under the bed, but not in the up position. Now, try to sit as high up on the bed as you can...snuggle your butt right up against the upper part of the bed as much as you can (that's why you move that rail because it will prevent you from getting all the way up there!). You can now use the lower rail to put a foot on to bring it up on the bed. Get the one leg on and then with the other you can push on the rail to get yourself laying back (again, with pillow on stomach for support) and then bring up your other leg. Now you are all the way in bed and can raise the upper rail up. You should be ok where you are sitting without having to move to the middle of the bed and your up in the bed so you don't have to scoot up either. You can raise the feet a little to help keep you from sliding down now too.

I also forgot...before getting into bed, make sure that your blanket and sheet are straightened out and pulled to one side so you can get in easily and not be laying on it, but yet it is high enough (up to the bend in the bed on the other side) so that once you're in bed you can just pull it over you without having to bend for it!

You want to make sure to move your legs around in bed, get up as much as possible (the more you do it the less it will hurt), do your deep breathing and coughing (with the pillow or blanket on your stomach) too. All of this is to prevent complications from anay surgeries (blood clots, pneumonia, etc) and it also gets your "insides" working again...for urine, gas, and bm's.

When laying on your side, have someone or you do it yourself, to put a pillow up against your back. It gives it support and you can usually rest a little better. I found hugging the pillow or folded blanket also helped my stomach/incision...even on my side. My pillow became my best buddy! I even used the pillow on my stomach when I breast fed. With it there, my incision didn't even hurt when I held the baby and I didn't have the bikini one.

Good luck and I hope this info helped.
